Couples’ PDA on Delhi Metro Sparks Outrage as Viral Video Highlights Ignored Etiquette
A viral video circulating on social media has once again brought attention to the issue of inappropriate behavior on the Delhi Metro. Despite repeated warnings from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), couples engaging in intimate activities on the train are becoming more common, much to the dismay of fellow passengers.
The video in question shows a couple sharing a passionate kiss near the automated doors of a moving metro train. Although their faces are blurred out, the intimate nature of their actions is clear. The incident reportedly took place at Anand Vihar station. The person who shared the video sarcastically captioned it, Another emotional video of Anand Vihar #delhimetro (OYO). Maybe we have forgotten that love is blind, people are not.
The video has since garnered significant attention on social media platforms, particularly Twitter, with users expressing their frustration at such indecent displays happening on public transport. It seems that DMRC’s guidelines have failed to deter couples from engaging in such behavior.
In response to previous incidents of couples kissing on the Delhi Metro, DMRC issued a statement condemning such actions. The statement emphasized the importance of responsible behavior and adherence to social etiquette while using the metro. DMRC’s Operations & Maintenance Act lists indecency as a punishable offense under Section-59.
DMRC called on commuters to refrain from engaging in obscene activities and to report such incidents to the nearest available Metro Staff/CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) immediately. The statement stressed the need for maintaining social decorum and etiquette while traveling on a mass public transport system like the Delhi Metro.
The issue of couples displaying affection in public transportation is not new, but it continues to be a point of contention. Some argue that love is a private matter and should not be displayed in public, while others believe that there should be more acceptance and normalization of such behavior. The debate around this topic remains ongoing.
As the video goes viral, it serves as a stark reminder that there is a need for greater awareness and adherence to appropriate behavior on public transport. While the DMRC’s statements and guidelines provide a framework for expected conduct, it is ultimately up to the passengers themselves to ensure they respect the boundaries of public decorum.
In conclusion, the recently circulated video of a couple engaging in intimate activities on the Delhi Metro has ignited outrage and highlighted the issue of overlooked etiquette. Despite DMRC’s warnings and guidelines, such incidents continue to occur, prompting calls for stricter measures and a change in societal attitudes towards public displays of affection. It remains to be seen how the authorities and the public will address this ongoing issue on the Delhi Metro.
