The DMRC has condemned the video and urged passengers not to create such content that may inconvenience other commuters. "Through innumerable campaigns and commuter awareness drives, we have tried to raise awareness among passengers requesting them not to make reels or indulge in any activity which causes inconvenience to fellow commuters. We also request fellow passengers to inform us immediately the moment they see such shoots being conducted," the DMRC said.
It said that the DMRC is absolutely not in favour of such reels being made on its premises.
