Seat dispute in Delhi Metro: A common problem
Fights over seats in crowded places like the Delhi Metro are not new. Especially during peak hours when the metro is completely full, the struggle to get a seat increases among the passengers. Despite the rules to give priority to the elderly, women, and disabled, many times people do not respect them, due to which disputes increase. In such a situation, small fights take a serious form, which is inconvenient for the passengers.
What steps can be taken towards the solution?
To solve this problem, first of all, passengers will have to show mutual tolerance and understanding. It is everyone's social duty to provide seats to the elderly and the needy. Also, the Delhi Metro administration will have to take steps to prevent such fights by implementing strict rules. The activity of helpline numbers will have to be increased, awareness campaigns will have to be run for passengers, and the rules will have to be strictly followed. Apart from this, special seats should be identified and strictly managed for sitting in the metro.
While the metro service makes people's lives easier, it is also our responsibility to respect the rules there. Solving small issues wisely is the sign of a civilized society. It is hoped that both passengers and the administration will take better steps by learning from this viral incident so that the journey on the Delhi Metro can become even more comfortable and safe.
