Recently, it has become quite popular to film Instagram Reels inside Delhi Metro trains as people dance to songs. While such videos often go viral on social media, fellow passengers have complained they cause inconvenience to them. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has time and again raised awareness on Twitter and urged commuters not to film videos inside Delhi Metro trains.

In a similar tweet on Monday, DMRC once again asked commuters not to shoot videos inside Delhi Metro trains with a popular meme template. “Metro mein travel karein trouble nahi (Travel in the metro, do not cause trouble),” it said in Hindi.

DMRC posted a meme showing different kinds of headaches and their causes. The meme template showed how migraine, hypertension, and stress affect different parts of the head. The last one showed a person suffering pain in their entire head and the reason behind it was given as, “When you see someone dancing in metro.”


“I am regularly using metro, i know many a time people are very insensitive towards fellow passengers,” commented a user.

In February, DMRC had urged people not to film reels or dance videos while commuting on its trains. To add a dash of fun to the post, DMRC also used wordplay related to the superhit dance number Naatu Naatu from the Telugu film RRR. It wrote, “Dance is fun but Delhi Metro mein Na-Naacho Naacho Naacho”.

The witty line was imposed on a photo of actors Ram Charan and N T Rama Rao Jr doing their signature dance moves. Sharing this graphic, the DMRC wrote, “Remember to Respect your passengeRs #DelhiMetro”.
