Delhi Metro posted a meme

In the recent past, there has been a huge rise in videos of people making Instagram reels inside metro coaches. While such videos may fetch tons of views and likes for social media influencers, they can also be a source of annoyance and inconvenience to fellow commuters. Last month, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) warned commuters not to video film inside metro coaches. This time, Delhi Metro decided to show its funny side with a cheeky post on Twitter.

DMRC shared a popular meme template. It said in Hindi, “Travel in the metro, no hassle.”

Delhi Metro posted a meme which shows different types of headaches and their causes. It shows how migraine, high blood pressure and tension cause headaches. However, the last one shows a person suffering from pain all over their head and the reason was said to be, “When you see someone dancing on the subway.”

Check out the tweet here:

Meanwhile, netizens praised the Delhi Metro for the move. The public service message resonated with many Internet users. One user commented, “I am using metro regularly, I know that sometimes people are very insensitive towards fellow commuters.”

Another user commented, “Mind blowing sarcasm.”

“It would be better if @OfficialDMRC concentrates on controlling such incidents where commuters start dancing and making videos inside metro and make other co-travellers uncomfortable,” commented a third user.

In February, the DMRC shared a funny meme advising people not to shoot dance videos inside the metro. Taking the meme game further, DMRC used a reference to the Oscar-winning song ‘Naatu Naatu’ from ‘RRR’ and wrote, “Dance is fun but Delhi Metro mein na-nacho nacho nacho”.

A picture of actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR performing their signature dance moves was punctuated with a funny line. The post was captioned as, “Remember to respect your passengers #DelhiMetro”.
