The Delhi metro is once again in news but for all the wrong reasons as a video is going viral in which an old man is seen smoking beedi. As we all know smoking is prohibited in all public places including public transport and people who violate this law can face legal action.
For quite some time, incidents of fights, PDAs, misbehaviour, etc. are getting reported in the Delhi metro and all this is happening despite the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) issuing statements and warnings for all those who are violating the rules.
In the video, it is seen that the old commuter lights a beedi and as per the reports, when other passengers objected to him smoking in the metro, he responds by telling them that he has the ticket.
An X user posted the video with the caption, “दिल्ली मेट्रो में खुल्लम खुल्ला किसिंग के बीच अब… बीड़ी का स्वैग #DelhiMetro” (Swag of beedi in Delhi metro after incidents of kissing)
DMRC issued a statement after this incident, “We conduct random checking through flying squads to detect any such objectionable behaviour. We appeal to the public to instantly bring up such instances to our notice so that immediate action can be taken.”
What do you think of this type of behaviour?
