NEW DELHI: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, in coordination with the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), has introduced a priority frisking initiative at all metro stations for special category passengers. This initiative will benefit divyangjans, pregnant women, women with infants, senior citizens, and injured persons, an official statement said.
The objective of this initiative is to provide a smooth and hassle-free travel experience for these passengers, ensuring they can move through security checks with ease and convenience. By implementing priority frisking, DMRC reaffirms its commitment to making the metro system more accessible, inclusive, and empathetic for all.
“DMRC has always prioritised accessibility for divyangjans and senior citizens by providing end-to-end services across the metro system, including reserved seating. All DMRC premises are commuter-friendly, with facilities such as tactile paths, wheelchairs, and other support systems to ensure a seamless travel experience. With this step also, DMRC continues to set an example for public transportation systems across the country by reinforcing its commitment to social responsibility,” said an official in a statement.
