The warning comes after several reels surfaced showing influencers and social media users making videos by gluing their phones to the windows of moving metro trains. While some users joined the trend, others raised concerns over the safety risks involved.
DMRC said it has noticed that some social media content creators are pasting their mobile phones on Metro train windows and shooting videos while the train is moving. The corporation said such activities can cause inconvenience or even injury to other passengers and can also damage the mobile phone devices of the users.
"The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has noticed that some social media content creators are pasting their mobile phones on the Metro train windows and shooting videos with the moving train. This act can cause inconvenience or even injury to other passengers and can damage the mobile phone devices of the users. DMRC authorities are viewing this with all seriousness and if any content creator is caught indulging in such a shoot, necessary action shall be taken. Therefore, the content creators are hereby directed to not shoot such videos within the Delhi Metro premises," DMRC's statement on Instagram read.
The Delhi Metro has become a popular setting for social media content, with dance clips, memes and viral reels frequently being filmed on its premises. However, the DMRC has consistently urged passengers to follow metro rules and avoid filming activities that could disturb fellow commuters or interfere with the smooth functioning of services.
DMRC's latest warning makes clear that content creators caught engaging in such shoots within Delhi Metro premises will face necessary action, as the corporation moves to address activities that could pose risks to passengers and metro operations.
