'Conduct Responsibly': Delhi Metro's Plea to Commuters After Video Showing 2 Men Fighting Goes Viral

A video of two men fighting inside Delhi Metro has blown out of proportion with Delhi Metro issuing a plea to commuters, urging them to behave responsibly while traveling on the Metro.

In the video, which does not have a specific date, the two men can be observed engaging in a fight, while fellow passengers make efforts to intervene and separate them.

Reacting to the incident, the DMRC said, “We request that commuters conduct themselves responsibly while travelling by Metro.” “If the other commuters notice any objectionable behaviour, they should immediately report the matter on the DMRC Helpline, detailing the corridor, station, and time,” it said in a statement.

Recently, the DMRC deployed flying squads comprising metro and security staff to randomly monitor such behaviour in the Metro across its network and to “take necessary action under relevant provisions of law,” it said.

Lately, multiple incidents related to Delhi Metro have hit the headlines. In a recent incident, a video surfaced on social media showing a couple fighting with two women in Delhi Metro.

In the video, the women could be seen accusing the couple for standing close to each other. On the other hand, the couple claims that they did nothing wrong and both of them should mind their own business.

The video didn’t just spark a debate on Twitter about how wrong it is to target couples but many also criticised the women. “These aunties are a menace. Kudos to this boy, this is exactly how they should be dealt with,” wrote a Twitter user.

Another user wrote, “live and let live. yeh moral policing walon ki ghar pe koi sunta nahi, bahar aaka robh jhadte hain”.
