Delhi Metro Rail Corporation responds to viral video of passengers jumping over exit gates at Jama Masjid metro station. DMRC: Incident was a ‘momentary reaction’ caused by a sudden surge in passengers and assured that the situation was brought under control quickly. Video has been shared by many users of social media on X which is grabbing the attention of people around the world. This unusual event, marking the first time such coordinated fare evasion has occurred in one of India’s busiest public transport systems, has raised concerns about the integrity and public order within the Metro network. While the motivations behind the act remain unclear, it has drawn attention to the potential impact on daily commuters and operational efficiency. The DMRC did not disclose any details regarding actions taken against the individuals involved, leaving room for speculation about whether this could become a recurring issue at the Jama MasJid station. The post further clarified that security personnel and other staff were present at the scene to manage the situation and counsel the passengers involved. Despite the brief chaos, normalcy was soon restored at the station.
