Bengaluru: In an effort to deter commuters from filming videos on Namma Metro trains for social media reels, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has decided to deploy marshals on trains for the purpose. The decision comes after several incidents of commuters filming videos on the metro trains and platforms were reported on social media.

According to reports, the marshals will be deployed in plainclothes and will keep an eye on commuters who are filming videos. They will also take action against anyone violating the rules and regulations of the metro service. The BMRCL has stated that filming on the metro trains and platforms is strictly prohibited and violators will be penalized.

The move has been welcomed by many commuters who have expressed their frustration with the growing trend of people filming videos on public transport for social media. Some have even raised concerns about the safety and security of other passengers, who may be uncomfortable with being filmed without their consent.

The BMRCL has urged commuters to follow the rules and regulations of the metro service and to refrain from filming videos on the trains and platforms. They have also requested the public to report any such incidents to the authorities.

NT Take: The deployment of marshals on Namma Metro trains is a welcome move to deter people from filming for social media reels. The BMRCL's efforts to enforce the rules and regulations of the metro service are commendable, and it is hoped that this initiative will improve the safety and security of metro train passengers.
