Travelling through the bustling Delhi Metro just got a lot smoother for those who need a little extra care. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), working closely with the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), has rolled out a new Priority Frisking initiative at all metro stations. This thoughtful move aims to make journeys more comfortable and stress-free for certain groups of passengers.
Who Benefits from Priority Frisking?
This special service is designed for:
- People with disabilities
- Pregnant women
- Women travelling with infants
- Senior citizens
- Passengers with injuries
These passengers can now breeze through security checks with less waiting and more convenience.
How Does It Work?
If you belong to any of these categories, simply let the security staff know. In some cases, you might be asked to show a document to confirm your eligibility. The goal is to make sure those who truly need this facility can use it without any hassle.
DMRC’s Commitment to Accessibility
DMRC has always worked towards making the metro system accessible for everyone. From reserved seating and tactile paths for the visually impaired to wheelchair access and other support systems, every effort is made to ensure a smooth journey for all commuters.
Leading by Example
With this new initiative, DMRC continues to set high standards for public transport in India. Their focus on inclusivity and social responsibility shines through, making the Delhi Metro a model for other cities.
Investing in the Future
Recently, DMRC also hosted a major training program in partnership with the International Association of Public Transport (UITP). This event brought together experts from around the world to share the latest knowledge in metro operations, including new technologies and best practices. Such efforts show DMRC’s dedication to innovation, safety, and efficiency in urban transport.
