After viral video prompts inspection, Delhi Metro says no snake found in ladies' coach
After a video showing passengers shouting after reportedly spotting a snake inside a coach went viral, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Friday said a baby lizard was found during inspection. The video, which was widely shared Thursday evening on Instagram, led to claims that a snake had been seen in a Delhi Metro ladies' coach. The video shows women passengers shouting, and lifting their legs to keep them above the floor. The passengers could also be seen jumping onto the seats. When someone asks why everyone is scared, a passenger claims there is a cobra in the coach. Another passenger can be heard telling someone to knock on the driver's door and ask him to stop the metro. However, DMRC said while no snake was visible in the footage, it took swift action once an alert was received from passengers. The train was halted at Akshardham Metro station, evacuated, and sent to the depot for detailed checks. 'Although the snake is not visible in the video, it is being purportedly claimed that a snake was spotted in a ladies' coach. Immediate action was taken upon receiving the alert,' Anuj Dayal, Principal Executive Director (Corporate Communications), DMRC, said. 'Despite a meticulous check of the train footage and the coach at the depot by the concerned team, no snake was found. However, a baby lizard was spotted during the inspection,' Dayal said. He said DMRC prioritises passenger safety and that standard operating procedures were followed to ensure there was no threat. 'We urge passengers to remain vigilant and report any such concerns to our staff for prompt action,' he added.
