Under Delhi Metro Railway Operation and Maintenance Act, each offender is liable to pay a penalty of Rs 250, it stated.
In cases where individuals are unable to pay the fine on the spot,
CISF
or flying squad personnel issue a warning and allow them to leave, he said.

A DMRC official said the drive is conducted in coordination with CISF personnel, who are deployed at various points across the metro network.
The corporation has also initiated a number of awareness measures to curb the issue. These include regular announcements in trains and on platforms, digital campaigns through DMRC's social media channels, and clear signage indicating the location of women-only coaches, he said.
The official also added that flying squads are also assigned to monitor and take action against violators.
He said, such drives and sensitisation efforts will continue in the days ahead to ensure a safer and more comfortable travel experience for female passengers.
The Delhi Metro currently operates a network of nearly 395 kilometres with 257 stations across 10 colour-coded lines.
Trains typically run in 6 or 8-coach formations, with one coach reserved for women.

Medivision 2025 opens to good response in Gadag
1 2 Pic: High school students of Gadag district saw various working models, specimen, demonstrations related to human body in Medivision-2025 organised by GIMS on its 10th anniversary; Minister HK Patil looks at models on effects of tobacco consumption Gadag: To celebrate its 10th anniversary, KH Patil Institute of Medical Sciences, Gadag, formerly known as GIMS, launched 'Medivision-2025', a unique health exhibition. The event, spread across 105 stalls, showcases human anatomy with models and specimens. Doctors and technicians are demonstrating CPR and explaining body systems. About 30,000 visitors are expected over three days. Dr Basavaraj Bommanahalli, institute director, told TOI that the medical exhibition is aimed at students from class 6 to 10 and PUC science stream from across the district. "Interested public are also allowed to visit. As many as 105 stalls of 21 departments, including general medicine, psychiatry, surgery, ent, blood, liver, kidney, bones and skeleton, anatomy, obstetrics, and gynaecology, are installed here, and two permanent museums are sensitising students on human anatomy, physiology, and diseases. Each department has set up 5-10 stalls focusing on procedures like delivery, caesarean section, paediatrics, instruments, fracture-plate, screw, 206 bones of the body, robotics surgery, OT complex, etc. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think!

Medical students Susmita and Fasiha said that the exhibition is also focusing on nutrition and food diet. "School students are enjoying fun games that sensitise them through wheeling education, stomach, intestine, thyroid issues. They are eagerly watching a baby's specimen kept in formalin. It's a learning experience for us too. Students' questions are making us alert enough," they shared. Rita, Ashwini, Sanaulla, Vijay, and others from a local private school said that models and demonstrations are very lively and simple to understand. "It was helpful to understand our biology syllabus. We are also sensitised about first aid and precautionary measures to remain away from diseases like cancer," they shared. District minister HK Patil, Shirahatti MLA Dr Chandru Lamani, MLC SV Sankanur, Gadag DC CN Sreedhara, SP Rohan Jagadish, DDPI RS Burdi, and others were among the visitors.

Plastic ban in Vijayawada falters as food sector escapes scrutiny
Vijayawada: The much-publicised ban on single-use plastics in Vijayawada appears only partially effective, as the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) continues to overlook a major source of pollution—the widespread use of thin recycled plastic sheets in eateries. While VMC teams actively raid retail outlets and street vendors, seizing banned plastic items, roadside food joints and budget eateries routinely use low-grade recycled sheets for serving and packaging meals—an issue largely ignored by enforcement teams. According to health experts, these plastic sheets — often less than 30 microns in thickness — pose serious health hazards. "They are made from recycled materials and are not food-grade. When hot food is packed in them, harmful chemicals can leach into the food, leading to microplastic ingestion and long-term health risks such as hormonal disruption and even carcinogenic effects," warned Dr V Bhagya Raji, a city-based physician. Despite these dangers, street vendors and budget eateries continue to use them openly. The reason? These plastic sheets are cheap and easily available in local markets.

Ironically, even while plastic bags and straws are being seized and fines imposed, there is no visible action against those serving food items in cheap plastic covers. Environmental activists have also pointed out the inconsistency in enforcement. "The VMC must either implement the ban in full spirit or acknowledge that enforcement is flawed. Selective targeting will only undermine public trust and environmental safety," said K Naveen Kumar, an activist at Save Nature Society. Health wing authorities at VMC said that they focused on identifying the cheaper eco-friendly alternatives for the plastic food packaging material and will start a special drive shortly to seize stocks of plastic bags and sheets.

Researchers develop glucose monitoring device that doesn't need a finger prick
Prayagraj: Researchers at MNNIT Prayagraj, in partnership with Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, have made a significant breakthrough in medical technology. They've developed a pioneering glucose monitoring sensor that does away with painful needle pricks. Instead, it uses electromagnetic technology to track blood sugar levels in real-time without requiring blood samples. The sensor, designed to be placed between the joint of the thumb and first finger, works in two parts: A sender and a receiver. The sender emits radio waves, which pass through the skin and are then captured by the receiver. By analysing changes in the electrical frequency, the device accurately determines the glucose level — all without a single drop of blood being drawn. The innovation was developed by researchers from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at MNNIT, including Prof VS Tripathi and his research students Piyush Mishra and Tilakdhari Singh, in collaboration with Dr Shiv Shankar Tripathi and Dr Swagat Mahapatra from RMLIMS. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like People Aged 50-85 With No Life Insurance Could Get This Reassured Get Quote Undo Their research was published in the Defence Science Journal and the technology has already received a patent. The scientists explained that electromagnetic waves travel from one medium to another, and by measuring changes in frequency, the sensor can detect glucose levels. Since every liquid has its own distinct electrical properties of dissolved sugar level (which is known by a standard mathematical model), the blood between the skin and flesh too has a dielectric constant, allowing the sensor to easily measure sugar levels without interference from bone. "We just connect the device and the changes in the frequency of the electromagnetic waves will provide the precise reading without a single prick or any pain thereof," said Prof Tripathi. This non-invasive sensor offers continuous glucose monitoring, making diabetes management easier and less painful. According to Prof Tripathi, the technology will be especially useful for patients who require frequent monitoring, as it allows for real-time tracking and timely treatment. Importantly, the sensor is also designed to be cost-effective. With an expected retail price of no more than Rs 500, it could be a game-changer in diabetes care, particularly for those from lower-income groups. The compact size of the sensor makes it highly portable and user-friendly, ensuring that patients can carry and use it conveniently anywhere. The project received financial support of Rs 8.94 lakh from the Council of Science and Technology, Uttar Pradesh. With this innovation, the research team took a major step toward making modern diabetes care more accessible, affordable, and comfortable.
