"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 — Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (@OfficialDMRC) May 28, 2025 Another poster shows a woman dancing in the metro station, with the text, "Dance like nobody's watching - just not on the metro." 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 — Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (@OfficialDMRC) May 26, 2025 In the caption, DMRC explained, "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." 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". Open your camera, Na Na Na! #DelhiMetro — Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (@OfficialDMRC) June 16, 2023 At present, there is no fine or penalty for shooting videos inside the metro. Many X users commented that this trend of shooting reels can only be stopped if certain penalties are imposed on the violators.

'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'.

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:

DMRC to take over desilting of covered Sunheri drain in S Delhi
New Delhi: Post-monsoon, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will take over the task of desilting the Sunheri drain in south Delhi. The work, to be carried out on behalf of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), will entail cutting a portion of the covered drain and opening the RCC deck slabs to create space for desilting. The 900-metre-long, 50-metre-wide drain, which passes through Dayal Singh College and Sunheri bus depot, has not been desilted since being covered in 2010, according to DMRC. The site frequently witnesses waterlogging, impacting nearby areas like Golf Links and Bharti Nagar. A DMRC official said the project, estimated to cost Rs 35 crore, is expected to be completed within a period of one year once work commences. "We were approached for desilting a portion of the covered Sunheri nullah. A tender has been floated and work will start after all requirements, such as award of tender, allotment of funds and mobilisation of the contractor, are finalised," he said, adding that the last date for filing applications is June 4. For the coming monsoon season, MCD will continue to be responsible for the desilting and ensuring there is no waterlogging. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

The project document states, "Its upstream end starts in Dayal Singh College premises and the downstream side ends in Sunehri bus depot at Lala Lajpat Rai flyover. There are five RCC boxes of width 10 m, and the depth varies from 3.5 m to 5.5 m. The drain was constructed in 2010, and it has not been desilted so far. The work includes desilting and cleaning of all five RCC box-covered drains. " The project will also entail making openings in the RCC boxes at suitable points for access and restoration. "A small portion of the RCC box drain (50 metres) will be taken out, followed by making a bund with sandbags at both ends to divert the flow of water. Dewatering will be done, making necessary ventilation arrangements, using a crane or cranes, expert manpower with proper safety equipment for removal of sludge, and its disposal," states the document.
