Delhi Metro warns influencers against filming viral phone-sticking reels: ‘Necessary action shall be taken’
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has issued a warning to social media creators filming viral videos that involve attaching mobile phones to Metro train windows, saying the practice could cause injuries, inconvenience passengers and damage devices.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has issued a warning to social media influencers against filming videos that involve attaching mobile phones to the windows of moving Delhi Metro trains. The trend, which has gained traction both overseas and in India, involves creators using suction mounts to attach their phones to Metro windows, capturing footage of the train and the person inside or outside the frame.
DMRC has noticed an increase in such videos being posted online, prompting the corporation to issue an advisory on Instagram. The warning states that filming such videos on Metro premises is not permitted, as it can cause inconvenience or injury to other passengers and damage the mobile phones being used for filming. DMRC authorities are treating the matter seriously and have warned that necessary action could be taken if creators continue to record such content.
The advisory concludes with a direct instruction to creators: "Therefore, the content creators are hereby directed to not shoot such videos within the Delhi Metro premises."
