Viral: Men caught obstructing Delhi metro door on purpose, DMRC reacts

Metro is one of the most used public conveyances in Delhi. Even then, reports of nuisances in the train make headlines occasionally. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announcements pay no heed and unpleasant experiences ranging from unruly behaviour to people dancing and creating obscene scenes on day-to-day commutes have become normal. In one such incident, a video shot inside a Delhi metro coach shows two men obstructing the doors using their feet while others around them laughed at the mischief. The video has caused outrage on social media, and sparked a discussion about the need for more stringent measures on public transportation.

A Twitter user named Aman shared the video which shows blue line’s Karol Bagh metro station in the background. He also tagged the metro authority, DMRC and wrote “Ase logo ki wajhse metro (@OfficialDMRC) late hoti hai" meaning ‘Metro gets late because of such people.’

In the clip, two men standing next to a gate stick out their feet to obstruct the door’s closing intentionally. As soon as the foot is placed, the automated door opens again. They repeat the act a few times as other men laughed inside the coach. However, one says they should stop doing this.

In response, the DMRC asked for the coach number on the train’s inside and outside. The authorities also attached a few reference pictures.

I’m giving all relevant info below. Please look into this as soon as possible.” he wrote. The clip was uploaded on Instagram by Ansh (@gupta_ansh172) on 29 March.
