2 min read 17 Jun 2023, 07:14 AM ISTDelhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has urged commuters not to make reels inside metro trains and warned that any activity that may cause inconvenience to passengers is strictly prohibited.
PremiumSeveral videos have surfaced on social media showing commuters making reels inside Delhi Metro. Now, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has urged commuters not to make reels inside metro trains and warned that any activity that may cause inconvenience to passengers is strictly prohibited.
DMRC has issued an advisory using a popular line from a nursery rhyme urging commuters not to do this.
"Open your camera, Na Na Na," DMRC said in a tweet posted on Friday. "Johnny Johnny! Yes, Papa? Making reels in the metro? NO PAPA!" said the line in the advisory.
"Any such activity that may cause inconvenience to passengers is strictly prohibited inside the Delhi Metro," read the footnote on the poster.
The tweet comes after a series of such instances, including a recent video of a woman dancing to a Bollywood song inside the coach of a train.
Recently, a video of a young woman gyrating to the popular Bollywood song "Assalam-e-Ishqum" surfaced online.
In May, a video of a young couple kissing each other inside a metro coach went viral on social media, following which the DMRC urged its commuters to "refrain from indulging in such obscene activities".
It also requested commuters to report such incidents to the "nearest available metro staff/CISF immediately, so that appropriate action can be taken".
Social media users have responded to these videos with anger and humour.
After the video of the couple kissing surfaced online, many social media users urged the DMRC to take action against the couple, while some questioned the need for filming the act.
The advisory attracted a lot of user attention. "Sad that there is no regulation seen on the ground, and people are still making reels, disrupting the travel of other commuters, strict measures need to be implemented on the ground to stop all this. Merely posting on social media would not be helpful," tweeted one user.
In a statement, the DMRC said it "expects commuters to behave responsibly while using the Delhi Metro and follow all social etiquette and protocols which are acceptable in the society".
"Commuters should not indulge in any indecent/obscene activity that may cause discomfort or could offend the sensibilities of other fellow commuters. DMRC's Operations and Maintenance Act in fact lists out indecency as a punishable offence under Section 59," it said.
