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.

The user replied to DMRC that he didn’t shoot the video but found it on Instagram. “I don’t know the coach number as I saw it on Instagram reels, but as you can see, it’s a blue line and you can see their faces. 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.

“This really apathic that you are asking for couch number. you have many cameras in every couch check that and take serious action against them. This will be eye opener for everyone,” wrote a user.

Additionally, Aman also shared a screenshot of boys tagged in the Instagram reel.

Another tweet on the DMRC website stated, “Hi. Obstructing the door of a Metro train is a punishable offence.Passengers may kindly contact DMRC Helpline on 155370 if they notice such behaviour.”

“They must travel daily. DMRC should track them and penalise. This is really not acceptable for fun. Station is clearly visible in station.,” a user wrote.

Another user suggested, “@OfficialDMRC @CISFHQrs please take necessary action.”

More than 2 lakh people have watched the video since it was posted.
