Delhi Metro
Talking about Delhi Metro, it has been linked to multiple controversies. DMRC often comes under the scanner of travelers' vulgur behavior and passengers fighting inside the train. The inappropriate behavior and fighting among the passengers raise questions on security of the Delhi Metro. Recently a video went viral in which two elderly women argued with a couple traveling inside the train and involved in an unruly act. Not only this, but a video also went viral in which a man was seen openly masturbating inside Delhi Metro. This earned Delhi Women's Commision Chairperson's reaction as well who asked Delhi Police to lodge an FIR.

However, Delhi Metro is the lifeline for India's capital. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday traveled by Delhi Metro to reach Delhi University where he delivered a speech. Not only this, while traveling inside Delhi Metro he interacted with youths as well.
