As per the Delhi Metro Railway Rules, 2002: “No person suffering from any infectious or contagious diseases shall travel by the Metro railway.“ But in reality, the Metro is yet to follow the practice.
DMRC officials admitted it failed to abide by the rule. “We do not have any mechanism in place to check this. We could not detect even a single passenger suffering from any contagious disease,“ said Anuj Dayal, spokesperson, DMRC. Ankit Gupta, a member of the Metro Citizen's Forum -a team of 400 volunteers -said: “This is DMRC's moral responsibility to ensure that no person with infectious disease travel by the Metro. If we are given training and are asked to check and restrict the infected people, we will be willing to do this.“
