Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has appealed to passengers to refrain from encouraging or feeding monkeys. The move follows an incident of monkey sneaking into a train on June 19. DMRC in consultation with the forest department plans to work out a standard operating procedure to deal with such unexpected situations for passengers’ safety.
Earlier, DMRC had roped in services of a person who could scare away the monkeys by mimicking the call of a langur.
In a statement, DMRC appealed to the general public to inform the train operator/metro authorities if they notice a monkey on the premises and also advised against feeding or interacting in any way with the animals.
A video clip has gone viral on social media on June 19, showing a monkey travelling inside the Metro train on Blue Line. The monkey sneaked into the train at Akshardham Metro station and remained in the system for 3-4 minutes. DMRC staff acted swiftly after getting information on the issue and the train was evacuated at the next station.
