Do not make ‘reels’ in Metro: DMRC to commuters

The Delhi Metro Friday asked commuters not to make ‘reels’ inside the Metro after a number of videos filmed inside the Metro trains were recently circulated on social media.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) reminded passengers, through a tweet from their official handle, that any activity causing inconvenience to other commuters is strictly prohibited. “Open your camera, Na Na Na! #DelhiMetro,” the DMRC said in a tweet. Along with the tweet, it also shared a poster which read, “Johnny Johnny! Yes Papa? Making Reels in Metro? No Papa!” “Any such activity that may cause inconvenience to passengers is strictly prohibited inside the Delhi Metro,” read the footnote on the poster. The warning came after a slew of videos went viral, including one of a woman dancing to a popular Bollywood song.

The DMRC urged passengers to “refrain from indulging in such obscene activities”. It also requested that such incidents be reported to the nearest available Metro staff or CISF personnel.

In an official statement, the DMRC cautioned commuters to “not indulge in any indecent/obscene activity that may cause discomfort or could offend the sensibilities of other fellow commuters”. It also drew attention to the fact that the DMRC’s Operations and Maintenance Act lists indecency as a punishable offence under Section 59.

In March, the DMRC had asked commuters to follow guidelines and not cause trouble to fellow passengers stating that filming reels, dance videos or any other such activity that may cause inconvenience to fellow passengers was strictly prohibited aboard trains.
