"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."

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".

Delhi Metro services partially hit after storm; Pink Line restored, delays on Red and Yellow Lines
New Delhi [India], May 21 (ANI): Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Wednesday said that services have resumed normally on the Pink Line but continue to be affected on parts of the Red and Yellow Lines due to overhead equipment (OHE) damage caused by strong winds and rain in the national capital. In a post on X, DMRC said, 'Metro Service Update: services on Pink Line are running normal now. 2. Due to OHE breakdowns, train services are regulated and operating on a single line on the following sections of Red and Yellow Line: * Red Line: Dilshad Garden to New Bus Adda *Yellow Line: Vishwavidyalaya to Samaypur Badli.' 'Services on remaining sections of these lines are running through both Up and Down Lines but are little delayed,' DMRC said in their post on X, adding, 'Services on all other lines which are not impacted by this windstorm are running normal.' Earlier in the day, DMRC had said that metro operations were affected in some parts of the Red, Yellow and Pink Lines due to damage to overhead equipment and external objects falling onto the tracks following heavy rain and hailstorms in parts of Delhi. Areas near Shaheed Nagar, Jahangirpuri and Nizamuddin stations were among the worst affected. 'Due to sudden windstorm, there has been some damage to OHE or external objects falling/coming on to metro tracks at certain locations,' DMRC had said in a statement. The DMRC had assured commuters that efforts were underway to remove the obstructions and restore the damaged overhead equipment in order to fully resume normal operations. (ANI)
