2 men stop Delhi Metro rail doors from closing with foot, DMRC reacts

CHENNAI: Playing with everything and everywhere has become a trend with the current generation. A video of two passengers playing with the Delhi Metro doors closing, showcasing their careless behaviour has gone viral.

The video was shared by a Twitter user named Aman with a caption that read, "Ase logo ki wajhse metro (@OfficialDMRC) late hoti hai (Metro are getting late is because of these people)." (sic)

The video recorded at the Karol Bagh Delhi Metro Station shows two men standing adjacent to the coach’s gate. Just as the gate begins to close, they both stick out their feet so that the automated door opens again. They did it a few times as other men inside the coach are seen laughing at their behaviour.
