"No Reels On The Wheels": Delhi Metro Issues Advisory Against Recording Videos For Social Media
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has issued a fresh advisory against shooting reels or videos while commuting in the metro. Many commuters record videos inside the metro wherein they can be seen dancing, singing or enacting sketches for posting on social media platforms such as Instagram. Many such videos also go viral, primarily because they were recorded inside public transport. Since recording these videos can disrupt smooth and safe travel inside the metro, and become a source of nuisance for fellow commuters, the Delhi Metro has advised passengers against this activity.
Taking to X and Instagram, DMRC posted on their official accounts, "No reels on the wheels. Your performance deserves a bigger stage than the metro," read a poster with a man playing a guitar at the metro station.
Metro is for travel, not for trends.
So next time Let's not make reels or encourage them because a smooth, safe journey matters more than a few seconds of fame. #DelhiMetro pic.twitter.com/5v1PMV5Gil

This is not the first time DMRC has issued an advisory against making videos inside the metro. In 2023, DMRC shared some funny and relatable tweets to warn against shooting reels in the metro, adding that any such activity that causes inconvenience to fellow passengers is "strictly prohibited".

‘Nine Puzzles' becomes Disney+'s most-watched Korean series of 2025 within 9 days after its global premiere
Disney+ has announced that its latest Korean drama 'Nine Puzzles' has become the platform's most-watched Korean series globally in 2025. The gripping crime thriller reached this milestone just nine days after its debut on May 21. Starring 'The Witch's Kim Dami as Yoon E-na, 'Nine Puzzles' follows the story of a young woman whose life was changed by a shocking murder. As a high school student, E-na discovered her uncle's lifeless body at home, with a strange puzzle piece lying next to him. With no memory of how she got there, and being the only witness, she quickly became the prime suspect. Ten years later, E-na has transformed into a skilled criminal profiler working for the Seoul Metropolitan Police. But the trauma of her uncle's unsolved case still haunts her. When a new string of murders emerges—each one marked by the same type of puzzle piece—E-na is pulled back into the past. She must now work alongside Detective Kim Han-saem, played by 'My Liberation Notes' Son Sukku, who originally led the investigation into her uncle's death and still quietly questions her innocence. Directed by Yoon Jongbin and written by Lee Eunmi, the show features a strong supporting cast including Kim Sungkyun and Hyun Bongsik. 'Nine Puzzles' joins a growing list of Korean titles on Disney+, such as 'Unmasked' and 'Hyper Knife'. Upcoming releases include 'Low Life', a treasure-hunting adventure starring Ryu Seungryong, and 'Tempest', an international thriller featuring Gang Dongwon and John Cho. Another K-drama that is all set to be streamed on Disney+ in the second half of the year is 'The Manipulated'. Starring Ji Changwook and Do Kyungsoo, the release date of this show is yet to be announced. The series has captivated audiences with its suspenseful plot, emotional depth, and standout performances—making it a standout hit in Disney+'s global line-up.

'No Reels On Wheels': Delhi Metro Warns Passengers Against Filming Videos
Last Updated: The DMRC also installed informative posters across major metro stations. These bright, attention-grabbing signs carry a clear message to not make reels in the metro. As viral videos of influencers shooting social media reels aboard the Delhi Metro continue to flood platforms like Instagram and YouTube, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Wednesday issued a firm public appeal, urging passengers to refrain from turning coaches into makeshift film sets. In a sharply worded advisory shared across social media platforms, the DMRC reminded commuters for safe, efficient, and uninterrupted use of the public transport. 'Metro is for travel, not for trends. So next time Let's not make reels or encourage them because a smooth, safe journey matters more than a few seconds of fame," the DMRC wrote in its post on X. Accompanying the post, the DMRC shared a poster with the message, 'No Reels on the Wheels'. One poster features a man playing a guitar at a metro station with the caption, 'Your performance deserves a bigger stage than the metro'. Meanwhile, another poster shows a girl dancing, accompanied by the message, 'Dance like nobody's watching – just not on the metro'. Metro is for travel, not for next time Let's not make reels or encourage them because a smooth, safe journey matters more than a few seconds of fame. #DelhiMetro — Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (@OfficialDMRC) May 28, 2025 The transport body raised concerns about both safety and convenience of metro passengers, pointing out that the growing trend of shooting reels on platforms and inside moving trains is causing disruptions and, in some cases, creating hazardous situations. In its campaign, the DMRC underlined how these impromptu filming sessions often obstruct fellow commuters, delay movement within stations, and pose serious security risks. The situation becomes especially precarious during peak hours, when crowded trains leave little room for such activities without inconveniencing others. To bolster awareness, the DMRC also installed informative posters across major metro stations. These bright, attention-grabbing signs carry a clear message to not make reels in the metro. Officials emphasised that the metro is not a stage for social media performances but a lifeline for millions who rely on it daily. While the current campaign focuses on education and awareness, the DMRC also hinted at stricter enforcement measures if these advisories go unheeded. First Published:
