With the Delhi Metro allowing passengers to carry two sealed bottles of alcohol each, a woman activist on Friday said the decision would frustrate women safety measures and demanded its rollback even as the police assured that there would be strick vigil and action against anyone creating “nuisance”.
A senior officer of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is tasked with metro security, said the decision was taken to bring uniformity in rules across the metro network.
He said that having separate rules for the Airport Express Line and other routes “was not desirable”.
Carrying of alcohol was banned in the Delhi Metro till recently except on the Airport Express Line, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said.
