A shocking incident on the Delhi Metro has left netizens fuming after a passenger was spotted lying down on the floor of the coach, flouting rules with impunity. Despite repeated announcements warning against eating, drinking, and sitting on the floor, some passengers seem to care little for the rules.
The viral images, shared by a fellow passenger, show the man lying down on the floor, seemingly oblivious to the commotion he's causing. The images were shared on social media, with the user, Shikhar Sharma, tagging the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Delhi Police, demanding action against the errant passenger.
Netizens were quick to express their outrage, with one user commenting, "What's happening in Delhi Metro these days?" Another user pointed out that while Mumbai locals and metro services carry more passengers, the kind of behavior seen in Delhi Metro is unparalleled.
Many users demanded strict action against the passenger, with one saying, "Such passengers should be dealt with strictly." Another user commented, "This is a slap on your (DMRC's) face."
The incident highlights the lack of civic sense among some passengers, who seem to think they are above the law. The DMRC has been trying to educate passengers about the importance of following rules, but incidents like these suggest that more needs to be done.
The Delhi Metro has been a lifeline for the city's residents, providing a convenient and efficient mode of transportation. However, incidents like these threaten to undermine the service's reputation and create an unpleasant experience for fellow passengers.

The DMRC needs to take strict action against such passengers, including imposing fines and taking legal action if necessary. Additionally, awareness campaigns can be launched to educate passengers about the importance of following rules and respecting fellow travelers. Only then can the Delhi Metro maintain its reputation as a world-class service, and provide a comfortable and safe journey for all passengers.
