Delhi Metro Allows Carrying Two Sealed Bottles of Liquor; DMRC Issues Guidelines

Delhi Metro – the heart and soul of transportation in the National Capital Region (NCR) is now allowing its passengers to carry two sealed liquor bottles on all routes of the Metro. As per the data till May 2023, around 5 million people travel via Delhi Metro on a daily basis. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is the public sector company that is responsible for the operation of Delhi Metro and the above announcement was made by DMRC only. Earlier, the carrying of liquor bottles was permitted only on the Airport Express Line.

Safety guidelines by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation

The new policy does come with some safety guidelines so that the comfort of all the passengers stays the same. First and the most important guideline says that the consumption of alcohol is still strictly prohibited. Also, emphasis is laid on the fact that only sealed bottles are allowed. Breaking any of the rules can land passengers in serious trouble. They might be imposed with fines or worse, they will be denial of entry. It is important to note that the bottles must be carried for personal consumption at the destination only and not for sale purposes in the metro.

It can have a drastic effect or no effect on the Delhi Metro conditions, for now, we can just wait for time to tell…
