Delhi: Among all forms of transportation, the Delhi Metro is thought to be the safest. In addition to being protected by CISF officers, a person entering a metro station is also being watched by DMRC CCTV cameras. This makes it very safe for everyone to go on the Delhi Metro, day or night. But this security mechanism frequently causes problems, and some people think it’s too strict about some things. Recently, a video went viral showing a father and child being denied access to the Delhi Metro while carrying a toy gun.
The DMRC never compromises passenger safety, regardless of the differing views on this matter. The Central Industrial Security Force, or CISF, is responsible for maintaining stringent security and enforcing rules on the metro’s property, according to information on the security measures provided by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). In addition to thoroughly scrutinizing passengers on trains, CISF officials also look through their luggage.
Passengers who bring unlawful items onto the Delhi Metro are seized and are not allowed to travel with them during the frisking and screening procedure. Several times, security regulations have compelled people to abandon their belongings.
- Knives, scissors, swords, blades, pistols, and other sharp and pointed weapons.
- Instruments including testers, pliers, and screwdrivers, among others.Toys that look like weapons, etc.
- Explosives such plastic explosives, firecrackers, hand grenades, gunpowder, and other explosive materials.
- Combustible materials like paint, cooking gas, gasoline, wet batteries, and other explosives.
- Ghee, oil, etc., not in an airtight container.
Carrying these objects on the Metro is forbidden per DMRC regulations. The level of security is increased during festivals. This, according to Metro officials, is to avoid any unfortunate situations during the festival season. Even though some goods are false, they can nonetheless make other passengers anxious.
