DMRC collects Rs 2 lakh in fine from over 1,200 people in six months

Rs 2 lakh collected as fine from 1,200 people within six months. Seems, the Delhi Metro is not sparing the rod.

According to officials of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), between April and September as many as 1,200
passengers have been fined for various offences. The Delhi Metro has collected around Rs 2 lakh in fine in these months. "On an average, six to eight people are fined everyday, mostly for travelling beyond their token destination. However, offences are not restricted to over-travelling. The list also includes squatting and creating nuisance and defacement of Metro property," a DMRC official said, wishing anonymity.
