New Delhi: For the next six days, Delhi
Metro commuters would get safety lessons from volunteers under
a special campaign to create greater awareness about safe
travel.
The volunteers from Northern Railway Bharat Scouts and Guides will counsel and educate lakhs of commuters at major inter-change stations like Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, Central Secretariat and Chandi Chowk till Sunday next.
The nearly week-long awareness campaign comes close on the heels of incidents of people getting stuck inside Metro trains which the Delhi Metro has blamed on software malfunctioning. During the awareness campaign, the volunteers will educate commuters on safe handling while entering or exiting from the train at stations and would also interact with passengers.
The aim of the campaign is to educate commuters about safe travel on Metro such as boarding and deboarding, queueing for boarding and using escalators, a DMRC spokesman said.
The volunteers, who would number over 150, would guide the passengers and distribute pamphlets explaining the do`s and don`ts in trains and station areas. The spokesman said volunteers will be deputed near the train`s doors to guide the passengers on safe handling.
The decision to launch the campaign was taken by new Delhi Metro chief Mangu Singh at a meeting in the first week of this month.
