Police Patrolling to Start in Delhi Metro After Controversies Over Viral Videos
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation recently issued a statement saying that it expects commuters to behave responsibly while using Delhi Metro after a video of couple kissing inside the train went viral.
Police patrolling inside the Delhi Metro is going to start soon after a string of viral videos of commuters triggered controversy in recent weeks, media reports quoting officials said on Tuesday.
As per the information, the uniformed security personnel and plainclothes police will do the patrolling at the metro stations and inside the coaches of the metro train.
The development comes after a video of a couple kissing while sitting on the floor of a metro coach went viral on social media. As per the rules, sitting on the floor of a coach is not allowed in the metro.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) recently wrote to the Delhi Police to strengthen patrolling at stations and inside metro coaches to curb such incidents, media reports quoting sources said.
After the video went viral, DMRC issued a statement making an appeal to commuters to “refrain from indulging in such obscene activities.”
A senior DMRC official told the media that the metro is looking to improve security and surveillance by implementing several measures.
"There are CCTV cameras in coaches on all lines, except on some old trains on line one. CCTVs are being installed in those coaches during the ongoing refurbishment process and also at metro stations to "monitor any objectionable activity," the official further added.
“This will help deter threats and inconvenience to passengers, including women,” he stated.
In the recent past, several videos of couples getting intimate have gone viral. Apart from this, in April a video of a girl wearing a bikini also went viral.
After these videos went viral, DMRC urged the commuters to report such incidents to the “nearest available metro staff/CISF immediately so that appropriate action can be taken.”
The CISF is tasked with guarding the Delhi Metro premises and responding to any situation inside coaches. A dedicated Delhi Metro Rail Police is also present for any untoward activity.
