A social media influencer named Divyata Upadhyay shared a video claiming to find a Haldi ceremony inside an Agra Metro train. In her Instagram video, she showed one train coach that was blocked off with a shiny yellow curtain at the entrance. Upadhyay suggested that the metro was being rented for special events since there weren’t many passengers on the train. She mentioned that although food is usually not allowed on the train, it seemed like a fun idea for celebrations.
After her video went viral, the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation responded and clarified that the event was not a Haldi ceremony but a private Basant Panchami party. They stated that no wedding events are allowed on the metro, and they encouraged people not to spread false information.
On their Instagram, the authorities shared pictures from the party, showing women dressed in yellow and enjoying themselves with balloons and kites. They also promoted the metro as a venue for celebrating birthdays and other special occasions, inviting people to book the train for events.
