A video of people jumping over ticket gates at the Jama Masjid metro station has gone viral online. This incident happened on February 13 on the Violet Line of the Delhi Metro. In the video, you can see many commuters skipping the automatic gates by leaping over them. Some people were even filming it on their phones.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) responded to the video, explaining that there was a sudden rush of passengers at that time. “There was a short but busy period when a lot of people used the exit at once, and some chose to jump over the gates,” said Anuj Dayal, DMRC’s communications head.
He assured everyone that there were security staff and metro workers present who managed the situation. It was never dangerous or out of control, according to him. DMRC said this was a quick reaction due to the unexpected crowd near the exit gates.
