Viral Video: Delhi Metro’s image has changed over the past few years from that of an effective means of transit to that of a hub for a variety of events, both good and bad. The metro has witnessed it all, from heartfelt singing to spontaneous dancing displays. But a violent incident between two people was featured in a recent viral video, which brought attention to a negative aspect of using the metro.
Intense Altercation Unfolds
The video, which was posted on Twitter by user “Ghar ka kalesh,” shows two guys onboard a Delhi Metro train having a heated argument that turns violent. Intense confrontations are shown in the video, with both parties resorting to pushing and slapping one another.
The event highlights the alarming pattern of violence and confrontation inside public transit. Although the fight’s circumstances are yet unknown, the video’s viral status highlights how commonplace these kinds of events are.
Commuter Safety at Stake
In addition to posing a risk to the security of commuters, altercations in public areas such as the metro also serve as a window into a larger social problem of rising tensions and a deficiency in dispute resolution abilities.
