DMRC allows 2 sealed liquor bottles in Delhi Metro, netizens ask to 'share notification'

With over two decades of operation in Delhi-NCR, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has never failed to impress people. At the start, with its high-speed and steeply laid tracks over the capital and now, in the age of social media, its ever-changing regulations. But why do the rules keep evolving? Well, intriguing travellers from different parts of the country are to blame. In a similar unfolding of sorts, DMRC announced in a query on Twitter that two sealed bottles of alcohol are now allowed in the Delhi Metro. However, the rail authority also clarified that ‘drinking alcohol inside metro premises is still strictly prohibited.’

DMRC said: “Metro passengers are requested to maintain proper decorum while travelling. If any passenger is found behaving in an indecent manner under the influence of alcohol, suitable action shall be taken under the relevant provisions of law,” according to ANI.

The post attracted interest as until now, only the Delhi Airport Express Line or Orange Line, which connects the Delhi Metro line to the Indira Gandhi International Airport from New Delhi Metro Station to Dwarka Sector 21, allowed to carry liquor.

A committee comprising CISF and DMRC officials reviewed the earlier order, as per ANI.
