What the Viral Clip Revealed

The viral clip, which circulated extensively on social media, depicted panic within the coach, with passengers shaken up. Women could be heard screaming and rushing for cover, thinking that there was a snake among them.

Internet users responded angrily to the video, with some being sarcastic in their response, saying, “Delhi metro, no longer a metro, now a circus,” and others wondering how it was possible that no one noticed this occurring.

Passenger Alleges Rumour Was Cause of Panic

A user on social media, who had alleged that he was on board during the panic, posted his account of events, “I had this wild experience yesterday. Someone went around spreading a rumor that a lizard is a snake,” they informed, implying panic escalated due to a misinterpretation.

Though the episode ended without damage, the incident reminded how fast misinformation spreads and the need to remain vigilant and fact-check.

Skincare Goals: Woman Wears Sheet Mask in Delhi Metro | WATCH

June 16, 2025, 2:44 pm

In a funny moment that serves to illustrate the notoriously volatile behavior of Delhi Metro passengers, a viral video has emerged of a woman quietly sitting in a metro carriage with a sheet mask covering her face. The five-day-old video, which was posted on Instagram by the handle ‘The Dope Indian’, has accumulated over 18,000 views.

In the video, the lady seems totally oblivious standing with her legs crossed by the metro door, a book in her hand, and a sheet mask over her face. The coach seems largely empty, and she isn’t bothering anyone.

Take a look at the viral clip:

Social Media Reactions

As soon as the clip went online, the comments flowed. Most condemned the cameraperson for trying to embarrass the woman for performing something as innocent as skincare in public. Some others also complained about taping someone off guard.

Commenters were equally supportive of the woman. “Bhai tune wo ni suna kya ‘Apne kaam se kaam rakhna (Mind your own business),” posted one user. “She’s not harassing someone. let her be. what’s your problem,” another observed. “She is minding her business,” posted another comment.

Others echoed similar views: “Minding her own business???? You should too,” one netizen posted. Another replied, “It’s called self love. India mein sab kuch problem hai (Everything is a problem in India).” “Mind ur own business bro,” another joked.

But the strongest worded comment was from a user who was asking about the morality of the video being filmed in the first place: “Dude. this isn’t right to take a person’s video without permission. I know you can laugh at it. but think of someone doing it to you or your loved ones. Instead of putting on Insta and asking the world, approach her and ask her.”

As of now, The Daily Guardian could not independently verify the exact date or authenticity of the footage.

Uncles Turn Delhi Metro into a Karaoke Room | WATCH

April 24, 2025, 7:28 pm

On April 22, passengers on the Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line got an impromptu show when a group of middle-aged men burst into song, accompanied by a handheld mic. What was otherwise normal travel soon turned into an impromptu karaoke session, pleasing some and puzzling others.

To add to that, the guys picked the evergreen 1955 love song from Shri 420, “Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua,” for their spontaneous concert, and many viewers have labeled it as both “hilarious” and “wholesome.”

Viral Spread and Original Post

The video posted on Reddit by user ‘Upstairs-Bit6897’ accumulated upvotes and comments within minutes. In its description, the post was:

“Delhi Metro, Karaoke Stand,”
“Shot in Yellow line on 22nd April 2025 (yesterday) using Samsung S20FE,”

Mixed Online Responses

The audience’s views soon split. “Awh, they are vibing with the most Indian dad faces,” one fan cheered. “Ironically, people were cursing some women who were performing kirtan in the Delhi metro. But now people are appreciating this,” another noted.

“This is a public nuisance, not wholesome,” one of the critics demanded, while someone else retorted, “Still better than the minor fights and abuses.

“Satire* Until a real Delhiite picks up the mic, croons honey singer’s classic song and drops the mic the moment his stop comes!” another joked. “The peach-coloured shirt uncle on phone (from right to person with mic) Looks like LATE OM PURI, I was surprised for few seconds,” one commenter said.

Even with the jovial atmosphere, not everyone was amused. Metro regulations prohibit onboard performances, but one user admitted, “Although performances such as these are not allowed in the metro I’ll give one slide this time lop.”

Delhi Metro Turns Into ‘Bhajan Concert’, CISF Officer Stops Show: ‘Ab Ye Sab Bhi Shuru Ho Gya’ | WATCH

April 17, 2025, 7:22 am

A video of a group of women singing bhajans inside a crowded Delhi Metro train has gone viral, prompting mixed reactions online. The incident reportedly took place during peak hours, with the women performing devotional songs using instruments like the dholak and kartaal. Dressed in sarees and traditional attire, the group sang loudly, turning the routine metro ride into a makeshift bhajan session.

While the impromptu performance drew little attention from fellow passengers — many seen glued to their phones — the viral clip has stirred a strong debate on social media around civic behaviour in public transport.

CISF Intervenes, Bhajan Session Stopped

As seen in the viral video, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawan eventually entered the coach and asked the women to stop the performance. The security personnel reminded them that such activities could inconvenience other commuters and must not occur inside the metro.

The group complied immediately and apologised for the disturbance. Fortunately, the situation was defused peacefully, with no fines or formal complaints registered.

Internet Reacts: Civic Sense or Harmless Fun?

Online reactions have been sharply divided. While some users criticised the act, citing a lack of civic sense, others viewed it as a harmless cultural expression.

One user wrote, “Civic sense k liye public places koi prayer, bhajan etc. krke nuisance nhi failana chaiye (For the sake of civic sense, one must not engage in prayer or bhajan at public places and spread nuisance).” Another added, “Religion should be practiced in religious places, or at home. Why here?”

However, others defended the group, with one netizen saying, “So what? At least they are not smoking, drinking, or playing cards. They’re singing bhajans for entertainment.”

Referencing previous metro incidents, another user joked, “Ab ye sab bhi shuru ho gya metro me! (Now even this has started in the metro).”

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has not issued an official statement on the matter so far.

Man Seen Drinking in Delhi Metro Coach? It Wasn’t Alcohol — Here’s What Happened

April 7, 2025, 5:33 pm

A clip of a man seemingly consuming alcohol within a Delhi Metro coach has gone viral, and widespread outrage on social media ensued. But the true tale behind the now-viral video is considerably more mundane than anticipated. The beverage in question was not booze but Appy Fizz — a non-carbonated, fizzy apple juice.

The man had uploaded the clip on his Instagram page, ‘Food Republic INDIA. Shortly thereafter, the video was posted extensively on Instagram, with users quickly believing he was drinking openly on public transport.

Man Uses Metro Handrail to Peel Boiled Egg

The video captures the man sitting in a reserved seat on a typical metro coach. Wearing a formal shirt and trousers, he begins by pulling out a boiled egg from his bag. In a bizarre and unhygienic action, he peels the egg using the metal handrail of the metro. It shows a horrific lack of concern for public hygiene and manners.

What comes next is even stranger. The man proceeds to pour what appears to be an alcoholic drink into a glass and begins drinking it within the moving coach. Unknown to him, another passenger films the whole incident, which is now being shared extensively across platforms.

Netizens React to the Viral Video

As the video picked up momentum, social media erupted with outrage. While some users were appalled by the man’s behavior, others posted comments on the outrageousness and sheer audacity of the act.

Some users observed that the issue was not so much whether he consumed alcohol, but his public flouting of decorum. One user commented, “This isn’t about alcohol. It’s about basic manners. Who peels an egg on a public handrail?”

History of Viral Moments in Delhi Metro

Unusual moments from the Delhi Metro have frequently dominated the headlines. Last week, a Reddit user shared a video of a man singing and dancing in a coach. Another video featured a woman fighting with a man who was not willing to give up a general seat for her.

In a past incident, a woman in skimpy clothes attracted attention, and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) released a statement. It explained, “While personal choices of clothes must be exercised, commuters must avoid wearing clothes that will offend other people.”

What Delhi Metro Rules Say About Drinking in Metro

As per DMRC rules, revised in June 2023, commuters are allowed to carry a maximum of two sealed bottles of liquor while commuting within its network: Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad. Drinking or consuming alcohol on the metro premises or trains is strictly not allowed.

The guy in the viral clip might have been drinking Appy Fizz but pretending to drink alcohol, and his public behavior could still land him in trouble with DMRC. The regulations specify that public decorum and discipline need to be maintained by all passengers.

DMRC officials have yet to come out with a formal statement on the video.

Delhi Metro Launches Auto and Bike Booking for Easy Travel

April 4, 2025, 11:05 am

Delhi Metro is introducing a new feature to simplify travel. Passengers can now book auto-rickshaws or bikes for pickup and drop-off through the Delhi Metro app, Momentum 2.0. This service aims to fix first and last-mile connectivity issues.

How the Service Works

Delhi Metro has partnered with Rapido to provide this facility. The app will suggest the nearest metro stations and the best transport option—auto or bike.

It will book a ride from the passenger’s starting point to the nearest metro station.
Before the passenger reaches their destination metro station, the app will arrange another ride.
If the starting or ending point is close to a metro station, the app will not suggest a ride.

A DMRC official explained, “The app will book a ride to take the passenger from their starting point to the nearest metro station. Just before they reach their destination metro station, another ride will be arranged to complete their journey.”

Smart Booking Without Tracking

The app will estimate travel time and schedule the next ride accordingly. However, it will not account for road congestion or metro delays. Importantly, it will not track commuters’ movements during the booking process.

Boosting Metro Ridership

In February 2024, Delhi Metro recorded a daily ridership of 7.1 million. This new service is expected to make commuting even more convenient and encourage more people to use the metro.

Kalesh In Delhi Metro: Man’s Dramatic Seat Fight With Women Goes Viral | WATCH

April 1, 2025, 8:17 am

A dramatic brawl inside a Delhi Metro coach has gone viral on social media, showing a heated exchange between a man and female passengers over a seating issue. The man refused to vacate his seat for women until he reached closer to his destination, sparking a noisy verbal spat. While it remained unclear whether he occupied a ladies’ seat, he finally stood up only when his station was about to arrive.

In the viral video, the man sat comfortably despite the crowded metro, making loud announcements to grab the attention of fellow passengers. He dramatically addressed the women, saying, “Oh ladies, bhaiya ki insult ho rahi hai yahape.” One of the women playfully responded with, “Ohoooo.”

The metro coach erupted in laughter as the drama unfolded. A few seconds later, the man rose from his seat and walked toward the exit door. However, the women onboard sarcastically stopped him and asked him to remain seated instead of vacating his seat for someone else. The man justified his action, saying, “Madam, mera station aagaya. Meri marzi. Meri marzi.”

Annoyed by his antics, a woman responded, “You have created a ruckus in the entire coach. Stay calm for at least a little while.”

The video, originally shared by the X page ‘Ghar ke Kalesh,’ quickly went viral, triggering mixed reactions online. While some netizens felt he should have offered his seat as a courtesy, others defended his right to remain seated, arguing that he was not obligated to stand up for female passengers.

In public transport, many men voluntarily vacate their seats to accommodate women as a heartfelt gesture. However, this man’s decision to hold onto his seat until the last moment has ignited an online debate over metro etiquette and social norms.

Pankaj Singh Reviews Progress of Delhi Metro Phase IV Expansion, Emphasizes Timely Execution

March 19, 2025, 11:15 pm

Delhi Transport Minister Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh presided over a high-level review meeting to assess the progress of Phase 4 of the Delhi Metro expansion. The meeting aligned with the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to enhance urban mobility and develop a sustainable transport infrastructure in the national capital. Senior officials from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and the Transport Department attended the discussions. During the meeting, officials briefed the Minister on the ongoing challenges and obstacles affecting the execution of Phase 4 of the Metro project. Key concerns such as land acquisition issues, environmental clearances, and inter-agency coordination were deliberated upon in detail.

Emphasizing the government’s commitment to the timely completion of the Metro expansion, Dr. Singh directed DMRC to meet its tree transplantation targets in strict compliance with environmental regulations. He reassured officials that all necessary support would be extended to facilitate pending approvals and administrative resolutions. Reaffirming the government’s environmental commitments, the Minister assured that adequate land would be allocated for tree plantations, ensuring a balance between infrastructural development and ecological sustainability.

The discussions also focused on crucial infrastructural integrations, including the construction of double-decker flyovers along key high-priority corridors in collaboration with the Public Works Department (PWD). Dr. Singh reviewed the financial and procedural aspects of these projects and pledged prompt action to expedite their progress. Additionally, he instructed PWD and DMRC to work in close coordination to fast-track infrastructure upgrades, particularly the integration of double-decker flyovers and connecting road networks in critical corridors.

Reiterating its commitment to strengthening Delhi’s transport network, the Transport Ministry remains dedicated to enhancing public connectivity and maintaining the highest standards of urban development. The government will continue to support the expansion of the Delhi Metro, ensuring that Delhi’s residents benefit from a world-class public transport system.

Delhi Metro Responds After Viral Video Shows Passengers Jumping AFC Gates

February 15, 2025, 10:16 pm

A viral video of commuters leaping over automated fare collection (AFC) gates at Jama Masjid station on Delhi Metro has sparked scathing responses from netizens and concerns about security and crowd control. While many lambasted the poor civic sense, officials have called the incident a “momentary reaction” to a sudden influx of commuters.

The incident took place on February 13 at Jama Masjid Metro Station on the Violet Line. The viral video of 52 seconds depicts people leaping over AFC gates with others cheering and recording the act on their mobile phones.

Public Reaction to the Incident

Social media went into an uproar, with people giving vent to their shock at seeing commuters avoiding the fare gates. Dassy said, “Such people lack civic sense. I’ve never seen something like this ever in Delhi metro.”

Another commenter, Woodpecker, was concerned about security, writing, “The Delhi Metro incident in which commuters jumped over the AFC gates at the Jama Masjid station… is a shocking matter. It raises grave concerns over security in the Metro. How dare the passengers break the law in the presence of the authorities. It reflects very poorly on the alertness and responsibility of the authorities.”

A third user mentioned continued mismanagement, saying, “It’s been over 20 years for Delhi Metro now, but still on unmanned platforms, you will see people coming out of Metro banging their heads with those entering in and exchanging some cute words. Insane consistency.”

Delhi Metro’s Response

Amid widespread criticism, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) released a clarification, claiming that the situation was in hand.

“there was a temporary surge of passengers for a brief time when some passengers bypassed the AFC gate by jumping over it to exit,” said Anuj Dayal, Principal Executive Director of Corporate Communications, DMRC.

In reference to a viral video circulating on social media regarding some passengers jumping over AFC gates to exit, DMRC would like to inform you that said incident was reported from Jama Masjid Metro station on Violet Line on the evening of 13th February 2025.

He added, “Security personnel and other staff were adequately present to counsel such passengers, and the situation was never out of control. Rather, it was a momentary reaction of some passengers due to the sudden surge at AFC gates.”

Issues Regarding Metro Safety

The incident has given rise to controversy regarding metro security and passenger control. Although the DMRC has ensured that there were security guards present, the general opinion is that more stringent measures are essential to avoid such incidents in the future.

As Delhi Metro’s network continues to grow, control and security pose a major problem, particularly at peak hours and unexpected rushes of passenger traffic.

Social Media Reactions and Condemnation

Why Is A Rape Convict On Delhi Metro Ads? Lawyer’s Post Goes Viral!

February 7, 2025, 10:08 am

A lawyer recently called out the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for displaying advertisements featuring self-styled godman and convicted rapist Asaram Bapu. The controversy erupted after the lawyer shared images of posters promoting “Parents Worship Day” inside Delhi Metro premises, featuring Asaram Bapu, who is serving a life sentence for rape.

Lawyer’s Outrage Over Metro Advertisements

Expressing his disappointment, the lawyer took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and slammed DMRC for allowing a convicted criminal’s images to be displayed in public transport. He wrote, “Shame @OfficialDMRC. How can Delhi Metro allow a criminal convicted under RAPE CHARGES, who is serving his sentence in jail, to endorse posters inside the metro? Highly shameful act by #DelhiMetro.”

Shame @OfficialDMRC

How can Delhi Metro allow a criminal who is convicted under RAPE CHARGES, and spending his conviction inside jail, endorse his posters, pics etc inside the Delhi metro rail?

— The Legal Man (@LegalTL) February 6, 2025

The images showed Asaram Bapu prominently featured in the ads, sparking outrage among social media users. Many questioned how such advertisements were approved in the first place.

DMRC’s Response and Removal of Ads

Responding to the criticism, DMRC assured that it had initiated the removal process. The organization posted on X, “DMRC has issued immediate instructions to the licensee to get these advertisements removed from the Metro premises at the earliest. The removal process shall begin tonight, but it may take some time to be fully completed.”

While some netizens appreciated DMRC’s quick response, others criticized the lack of a strict screening process for advertisements. One user questioned, “How come these ads are put up instantly, but it takes days to remove them?” Another user disagreed with the removal, arguing, “Parents Worship Day promotes good values. Why remove the ad?”

Asaram Bapu’s Conviction

Asaram Bapu was convicted in 2023 for repeatedly raping a woman disciple between 2001 and 2006 at his ashram in Gujarat. The court found him guilty under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including rape (Section 376 2C) and unnatural offenses (Section 377). Despite serving a life sentence, he was granted interim bail until March 31, 2024, on medical grounds.

This incident has once again raised concerns about the advertisement approval system in public spaces, prompting calls for stricter regulations to prevent such controversies in the future.

‘Sit On My Lap!’, Hair-Pulling Cat Fight In Delhi Metro | VIRAL VIDEO

January 8, 2025, 11:18 am

The Delhi Metro, renowned as one of the most efficient public transport systems in the capital, often becomes the stage for bizarre and unruly passenger behaviour. From viral dance reels to public spats, it continues to make headlines. In a recent incident, a heated fight between two women in the ladies’ compartment left co-passengers shocked. The altercation, captured on video, has since gone viral on social media.

The Incident: Verbal Spat Turns Physical

The video shows two women embroiled in a verbal clash, with one seated and the other standing nearby. The seated woman, visibly irked, sarcastically tells the other, “Meri god mein baith jaa (sit on my lap).” Tensions escalate quickly as she gets up, pushing the standing woman and pulling her hair. The physical altercation left co-passengers stunned, though some attempted to mediate and de-escalate the situation.

Social Media Reacts

The clip, shared with the caption, “Ab yeh kab hua… is it in the ladies compartment (Now, when did this happen… is this the ladies’ compartment)?” sparked widespread reactions online.

One user humorously remarked, “Yu hua English to desi ka safar (This is how the journey of English to desi happened).”

Another sided with the aggressive woman, noting, “Her anger seems justified. Many ladies often invade personal space without asking. Not everyone is comfortable with this.”

On a more serious note, a comment read, “This is concerning. Physical assault should never be the answer.”

Delhi Metro Chaos: Woman Sits on Passenger’s Lap, Verbal Spat Escalates to Physical Fight

January 7, 2025, 6:10 pm

Once again, the Delhi Metro has captured headlines due to a fiery row in one of its women’s compartments. The video is of a tussle between passengers that rapidly degenerated into a riot, attracting an array of mixed reactions on the internet.

In the video, one woman is seen shouting at another, saying, “Meri god me baith jaa” (Sit on my lap). The other woman takes the comment literally and sits on her lap, which then escalates into a heated verbal clash that ends up in a physical fight. The video captures the two women fighting while the other passengers remain silent in awe.

Social media users were quick to weigh in on the incident. One of them said that “I think her anger was justified. Many ladies try to squeeze in between strangers, sometimes without even asking. Not everyone is comfortable with this.”

Another added that “Everyone is so frustrated that they can’t tolerate a little high and low and immediately becomes offensive.”

A third opinioned, “I think sometimes it’s a bit of entitlement. Everyone is tired after work, and people who get seats often sit for the entire journey without considering others. That said, personal space should still be respected, and physical fights in public spaces are unacceptable.”

The Delhi Metro has gained notoriety for its share of quirky and chaotic incidents, from impromptu performances to public disputes. Earlier, another viral video from a metro station showed a bystander trying to intervene in a fight but ending up getting slapped instead.

Delhi Metro Marks Milestone with Arrival of First Phase-4 Train

November 15, 2024, 3:56 pm

Delhi Metro received its first train set for the Phase-4 expansion today, signaling a significant step forward in the project’s completion. The six-coach train arrived at Delhi’s Mukundpur depot, where it will undergo extensive testing as per statutory certification protocols before entering revenue service, according to an official statement.

The newly delivered train set was first unveiled on September 23 earlier this year at Alstom’s Rolling Stock facility in Sricity, near Chennai, in the presence of representatives from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Alstom. This train is part of DMRC’s RS-17 contract, under which 312 Metro coaches (52 trains) are to be supplied for Phase-4 priority corridors.

The delivery of the 52 trains will take place in phases, serving three key corridors: Majlis Park to Maujpur, Janakpuri West to R K Ashram Marg, and Tughlakabad to Delhi Aerocity. Out of the total 312 coaches, 234 are designated for the extended sections of Line-7 (Pink Line) and Line-8 (Magenta Line), while the remaining 78 will cater to the new Golden Line corridor connecting Tughlakabad and Delhi Aerocity.

The Pink Line extension from Mukundpur to Maujpur will receive 90 coaches (15 trains), and the Magenta Line extension from Janakpuri West to R K Ashram Marg will be allocated 144 coaches (24 trains). The new Aerocity-Tughlakabad corridor will be equipped with 78 coaches (13 trains).

Driverless Technology and Make in India Initiative

All Phase-4 trains are equipped with Grade of Automation (GOA) 4, allowing fully driverless operations. This aligns with Delhi Metro’s goal of providing advanced, world-class transit solutions. The trains, designed to achieve a maximum speed of 95 km/h and an operational speed of 85 km/h, support the Government of India’s Make in India initiative, as they are manufactured locally at Alstom’s facility.

DMRC’s Phase-4 expansion encompasses the construction of 86 kilometers of new lines across five corridors. Currently, three corridors—Janakpuri West-R K Ashram Marg, Majlis Park-Maujpur, and Aerocity-Tughlakabad—are actively under construction. The remaining two corridors, Lajpat Nagar-Saket G Block and Indraprastha-Inderlok, are in the pre-tendering phase, awaiting further progress.

Delhi Metro’s Extensive Network and Driverless Operations

Delhi Metro now operates a comprehensive network spanning 391 kilometers and featuring 286 stations, including the NOIDA-Greater NOIDA corridor and the Rapid Metro in Gurugram. The fleet consists of around 350 Metro trains with configurations of four, six, and eight coaches running on both broad-gauge and standard-gauge tracks.

The Delhi Metro system is regarded as one of the most advanced in the world, particularly in the mass urban transit sector. India’s first driverless Metro operations began on the Magenta Line in December 2020, followed by the Pink Line in November 2021, setting a precedent for automated services across the network.

Looking Ahead: Continued Phase-4 Deliveries and Future Expansion

With the arrival of the first Phase-4 train, DMRC is set to ramp up its testing and delivery processes in the coming months. The successful integration of these new trains is expected to enhance connectivity and support the growing demand for efficient urban transportation in the national capital region.

The video has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many users condemning the behavior and calling for action against the transgender individuals involved. One user remarked, “They’ve started showing up everywhere—on trains, buses, at red lights, and now even in the metro… If this keeps going, soon we’ll see this species on Air India and Indigo too. Imagine, when they didn’t get paid, they just put it all out there!”

ट्रेन में बस में रेड लाइट पर अब तो मेट्रो में भी दिखने लग गए… अगर ऐसा ही चलता रहा तो कल को एयर इंडिया इंडिगो में भी दिखेंगे यह प्रजाति .. बताओ पैसा नहीं दिया तो खोल कर दिखा दिया अपना… ?

A third user expressed concern, saying, “This is a really terrible act. People behaving like this in the metro should be caught immediately. Some transgender individuals ask for money; some people give, and some don’t. But causing a scene like this is wrong. Where were the CISF personnel in the Delhi Metro? They should have taken immediate action.”

बहुत ही बकवास हरकत है ये। मैट्रो में ऐसी हरकतें करने वालों को तुरंत पकड़ना चाहिए। कुछ किन्नर लोग पैसे मांगते हैं तो कुछ लोग देते हैं कुछ नहीं देते, लेकिन इस तरह झगड़ा करना गलत है।

दिल्ली मेट्रो में CISF वाले कहां थे? उन्हें तुरंत एक्शन लेना चाहिए था।

Delhi Metro’s New Bike Taxi Service: Empowering Women Drivers And Women-Only Rides!

November 12, 2024, 11:22 am

In a major move to improve last-mile connectivity, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has officially launched a new bike taxi service, aimed at providing a faster and more efficient mode of transport for commuters. The initiative, which was unveiled by Dr. Vikas Kumar, Managing Director of DMRC, on November 11, 2024, is now available across 12 metro stations and promises to offer quicker rides while reducing commute times.

How the Service Works

The new bike taxi service can be easily accessed through the DMRC Momentum mobile app, also known as Delhi Sarthi 2.0. This facility optimizes routes to ensure riders reach their destinations faster, helping commuters save time on their journey. The service is currently operational at key stations, including Dwarka Sec-21, Dwarka Sec-10, Dwarka Sec-14, and several other locations in both Delhi and Gurgaon.

Two Types of Services: RYDR and SHE RYDS

Commuters can choose between two types of bike taxis—RYDR, which is available for all passengers, and SHE RYDS, a unique service dedicated to female passengers. SHE RYDS aims to provide a safer, women-only ride option with women drivers who have undergone thorough verification and training. This initiative not only ensures a secure commuting experience for women but also empowers female drivers by offering them employment opportunities.

Sustainable and Affordable Commute

In line with sustainability goals, the bike taxis operate on electric bikes, reducing the carbon footprint of the service. The pricing structure is designed to be affordable, starting at a minimum charge of ₹10, followed by ₹10 per km for the first 2 km and ₹8 per km thereafter. This ensures that the service remains accessible to a broad range of commuters.

Expansion Plans: More Stations and Vehicles Coming Soon

Currently, the bike taxi service operates with 150 RYDRs and 50 SHE RYDS from the 12 stations, with service hours from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm. In the coming months, DMRC plans to expand the service to over 100 metro stations and increase the number of available bikes to around 1000. The expansion is set to cover more of Delhi’s metro network, further enhancing the convenience for passengers and making last-mile connectivity easier.

Collaboration with Last Mile Connectivity Provider

This service is being rolled out in partnership with First And Last Mile Connectivity India Pvt. Ltd., highlighting the collaboration between the DMRC and private entities to provide a seamless travel experience for commuters.

A Step Toward Smarter Urban Mobility

With the introduction of the bike taxi service, DMRC is not only enhancing the ease of commuting but also contributing to a cleaner, greener Delhi by promoting electric transportation. As the service expands across more stations, it will likely become a game-changer in the city’s public transport system, making it faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.

This incident highlights the growing concern about the lack of respect for personal space in public places, especially in crowded settings like the metro.

DMRC Removes Delhi Metro Breast Cancer Ad Amid Online Backlash

October 24, 2024, 3:24 pm

After facing significant backlash, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced the removal of a breast cancer awareness advertisement from its trains due to its inappropriate content. The ad featured the phrase “check your oranges” at the bottom of the poster, which aimed to promote awareness about breast cancer.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the DMRC addressed the controversy, saying, “This is in reference to the photograph of an advertisement on Breast Cancer Awareness, which was installed inside a Delhi Metro train. DMRC authorities found the content inappropriate and immediately took serious cognizance of the matter.” The corporation noted that the controversial advertisement was only displayed inside one train and was taken down around 7:45 PM on Wednesday, October 23.

The DMRC emphasized its commitment to being sensitive to public sentiments, stating, “DMRC always strives to be sensitive to public sentiments and doesn’t encourage any sort of campaign/activity/display advertising which is not in good taste or in defiance of prevalent guidelines of advertising in public places. The Delhi Metro will endeavor to ensure that such incidents of inappropriate advertising don’t take place in its premises.”

The breast cancer awareness campaign was part of an initiative by cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s NGO, YouWeCan Foundation. The ad was criticized for using the term “oranges” to refer to breasts. One of the posters urged women to “check their oranges” monthly to promote early detection of breast cancer. It depicted a young woman on a bus holding two oranges, while older women sat nearby, one of whom had a crate of oranges.

Another breast cancer awareness message from the YouWeCan Foundation displayed in the Yellow Line of Delhi Metro asked, “Have you checked your oranges lately?”

A social media user condemned the advertisement as “shameful and embarrassing,” questioning the effectiveness of raising breast cancer awareness with such wording. They expressed their frustration on X, saying, “How will a country raise Breast Cancer Awareness if we can’t even call breasts what they are? Saw this at Delhi Metro and like what the hell? Check your oranges? Who makes these campaigns, who approves them? Are we governed by such dumb people that they let this poster become public?”

Delhi Metro Gets Colorful Makeover for Promoting Diljit Dosanjh’s Upcoming Music Concert in India | WATCH

October 24, 2024, 12:22 pm

The Delhi Metro has unveiled a vibrant new look in celebration of Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming India Tour. This initiative is designed to honor the artist’s significant contributions to music and entertainment, while also engaging his fans in a creative way as they travel around the city.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by meradiljit (@meradiljit)

Exciting Concerts in Delhi

Diljit Dosanjh‘s live concerts are scheduled for October 26 and 27 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the capital. Both shows of the “Dil-Luminati World Tour” are officially sold out, demonstrating the immense popularity of the Punjabi singer and film star. In fact, all tickets sold out within hours of being available. However, this has led to a thriving black market for tickets, with the Delhi Police already arresting individuals for selling counterfeit tickets to the concert.

While tickets for the “Dil-Luminati” tour are available through official channels, they come at a steep price. For instance, Gold category tickets, originally priced between ₹4,000 and ₹9,000, are being resold for as much as ₹20,000 in the black market.

Transformative Design

The new design of the Delhi Metro includes striking graphics and imagery associated with Diljit Dosanjh, reflecting his dynamic personality and musical journey. Bright colors and artistic visuals adorn metro cars and stations, creating an engaging experience for passengers. This revamp not only promotes Dosanjh’s upcoming concerts but also enhances the overall atmosphere of the metro system, making it more appealing to daily commuters and visitors.

Celebrating Cultural Icons

This initiative is part of a broader trend where public transportation systems celebrate cultural icons and events. By highlighting popular figures like Diljit Dosanjh, the metro fosters a sense of community and pride in local talent. Dosanjh’s appeal goes beyond regional boundaries, uniting fans from diverse backgrounds.

Engaging Fans

As fans board the newly decorated metro, they encounter visuals that connect with Dosanjh’s music and persona. This initiative aims to generate excitement and buzz around his tour, motivating more people to attend his concerts and celebrate his music. The metro’s transformation into a promotional space merges art with public transportation, enhancing the overall travel experience.

Legal Action Against Ticket Scalping

On October 10, the Delhi High Court issued a notice requesting an investigation into ticket scalping related to Diljit Dosanjh’s concerts. The court has sought responses from both the Centre and the Delhi government’s department of trade and taxes. Until a probe panel is established and the investigation begins, dedicated fans may have to pay exorbitant prices to gain entry to the stadium.

As anticipation grows for Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Dil-Luminati Tour,’ ticket scalping is becoming increasingly rampant. The high demand for tickets has led to bulk purchases, with resellers marking up prices significantly to make a profit at the expense of fans. Ticketing platforms, such as the foreign website Viagogo, are particularly benefiting from this trend, reselling tickets at prices up to ten times the original value.

Yuvraj Singh’s Non-Profit Calls Breasts ‘Oranges’ In Offensive Cancer Awareness Ad In Delhi Metro

October 23, 2024, 1:01 pm

A breast cancer awareness campaign by cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s non-profit, YouWeCan Foundation, has come under fire for using the term “oranges” to refer to breasts. The campaign intended to promote early detection of breast cancer, but its choice of words has sparked criticism.

One of the campaign’s ads, with the message “Check your oranges once a month,” features a young woman holding two oranges while standing on a bus. Meanwhile, several elderly women, including one with a crate of oranges, are seated around her. The ad was meant to encourage regular self-examinations, but many found it offensive and inappropriate.

Social media backlash

A social media user shared a picture of the ad, which was displayed inside a Delhi Metro coach, criticizing both YouWeCan and Delhi Metro for the ad’s poor imagery and word choice. The user, with the handle Confusedicius, wrote: “How will a country raise breast cancer awareness if we can’t even call breasts what they are. Saw this at Delhi Metro and like what the hell? Check your oranges? Who makes these campaigns, who approves them? Are we governed by such dumb people that they let this poster become public?”

— Confusedicius (@Erroristotle) October 22, 2024

Calls for removal

The user expressed disappointment with the ad, calling it “shameful and embarrassing.” They also tagged Yuvraj Singh, urging him to take down the campaign. Additionally, the user called out Delhi Metro officials, asking for the ad’s removal: “This advertisement is one of the most tone-deaf advertisements I have ever seen. Will you put up any advertisement if someone pays you? Please remove this.”

Further criticism

Another message from the same campaign, shared on Instagram, included phrases like “How well do you know your oranges?” and “Have you checked your oranges lately?” This, too, sparked a wave of disapproval. Dr. Pragathi Gurram, a cardiologist, voiced her concerns in the comments section, saying, “It’s hard to understand how we can genuinely raise awareness about something when we can’t even use the correct terminology. What kind of message are we sending? Who is approving these campaigns?”

Yuvraj Singh’s personal battle with cancer

Yuvraj Singh, who fought a rare form of lung cancer called mediastinal seminoma in 2011, is the founder of YouWeCan. He underwent several rounds of chemotherapy in the US and was finally discharged in March 2012, marking a victory in his fight against the disease. His personal journey has inspired the foundation’s mission, though this campaign has drawn unexpected criticism.

The campaign, though well-intended, has left many questioning the choice of messaging and its effectiveness in raising awareness about such a serious issue.

Delhi Metro To Increase Daily Trips By 40; More Buses To Operate As Air Quality Declines, Announces Minister

October 22, 2024, 11:55 pm

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai announced on Tuesday that the Delhi Metro will add 40 extra trips daily, and the frequency of DTC buses will increase to promote public transport amid escalating air pollution levels in the national capital.

During a press conference, Rai mentioned that 1,800 additional traffic personnel will be stationed at 97 locations, and inspections at construction and demolition sites will be intensified. This announcement followed Rai’s declaration of the enforcement of GRAP-II (Graded Response Action Plan) rules across North India, as the Air Quality Index (AQI) exceeded 300.

The GRAP action plan entails daily mechanical and vacuum sweeping, along with water sprinkling on designated roads. Rai also stated that water sprinkling would be intensified at pollution hotspots, with over 6,000 Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) employees deployed. Additionally, neighboring states will be urged not to send diesel buses to Delhi.

“We have formed a coordination committee that will visit hotspots daily, supervised by the Deputy Commissioner, to monitor the implementation of action plans in those areas,” said Gopal Rai.

Delhi experienced ‘very poor’ air quality on Tuesday, with an AQI of 385 reported by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) around 8 a.m.

GRAP-II in North India

Earlier, Rai highlighted that five new initiatives have been incorporated into GRAP-II, including the regulation of diesel generators.

“Five new initiatives have been introduced in GRAP-II. Diesel generators will be regulated. Parking costs for vehicles will be increased to discourage car use for commuting. The goal is to further reduce dust and vehicular pollution,” the Environment Minister stated.

A meeting with senior officials was convened to enhance the implementation of GRAP-II in Delhi NCR, following an order from the Commission for Air Quality Management on Monday, as the overall AQI fell into the ‘very poor’ category in the region.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change released a statement indicating, “According to forecasts from IMD/IITM, the daily average AQI in Delhi is likely to remain in the ‘very poor’ category (AQI 301-400) in the coming days due to unfavorable meteorological and climatic conditions.”

“Accordingly, the Sub-Committee for the operationalization of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) of the Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and adjoining areas (CAQM) met today to assess the air quality situation in Delhi-NCR,” it added.
