Metro One starts Be Responsible, Be Safe

MUMBAI: Mumbai Metro One Private Limited ( MMOPL) that operates between Ghatkopar and Versova has initiated a Be Responsible, Be Safe campaign that will start from Tuesday. Under this campaign, it is urging commuters to follow the COVID-19 protocol for their own safety and for the safety of fellow commuters. According to MMOPL, it is acting more stringently to ensure that all commuters follow the rule of wearing masks at all times. The authority has also increased patrolling inside trains to check the same following the recent increase in fresh/active cases of COVID-19 in Mumbai reportedly.

Moreover, MMOPL has been broadcasting announcements and displaying messages to wear masks at all times while travelling. Besides, commuters found flouting these norms are counseled. If a commuter still refuses to fall in line and doesn't wear a mask, then they are fined with Rs 200 under Section 59 of The Metro Railways Operations and Maintenance Act, the issued statement stated. The MMOPL spokesperson commented, "Our objective is primarily to advise and counsel erring commuters to follow the laid down norms for ever yone’s safety and this is being done with a positive attitude rather than to punish people." -
