With the aim of sensitizing commuters about safe travel in the wake of recent incidents, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) decided to launch a campaign on Tuesday, January 9. The campaign's goal is to educate commuters about safe travel on the Metro, including aspects such as boarding and de-boarding, queuing for boarding, and using escalators.
The decision to launch the campaign comes after an incident at Inderlok, where a woman was dragged for several meters after her saree got stuck in the door. Unfortunately, she sustained severe injuries and died at the hospital two days later. A similar incident occurred at Guru Dronacharya Metro Station when a female passenger shoved her bag in the metro train doors to reopen them.
DMRC also released a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) with the caption, "Be a responsible passenger of Delhi Metro and travel safely with Delhi Metro, as your safety is the first priority of Delhi Metro."
