Delhi Elections: Arvind Kejriwal proposes 50% fare concession for students in Delhi Metro

In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal has suggested a 50% fare concession for students traveling in Delhi Metro, highlighting the financial burden students face.&nbsp;

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposing a 50 percent fare concession for students commuting in the Delhi Metro. Kejriwal emphasized the financial burden on students, suggesting that both the Centre and the Delhi government, which jointly fund the Metro, should share the cost of the proposed concession. "To reduce the financial burden on students, I propose to give 50 percent concession to students in Delhi Metro," the letter read.
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6789fc69becd8_1737096297.png" width="653" height="772">
Kejriwal also highlighted that the Delhi Metro is a 50:50 joint venture between the Delhi Government and the Central Government, so the expenses for the concession should be equally distributed between both parties. He further pointed out that Delhi's students rely heavily on the Metro for daily commuting to schools and colleges. "I am writing this letter to draw your attention to an important matter concerning the school and college students of Delhi. The students of Delhi depend largely on the Metro to commute to their school or college," the letter read.
Additionally, Kejriwal mentioned that the Delhi government is working on plans to offer free bus travel to students, underscoring their commitment to easing the financial strain on students. "From our side, we are planning to make the bus travel completely free for the students," the letter added.
This proposal comes just ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, scheduled for February 5, with vote counting set for February 8. AAP, which has already announced candidates for all 70 seats, faces competition from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has announced candidates for 59 seats. The Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years, is attempting a comeback after poor showings in the last two elections.

Delhi metro commuters might soon have access to essential kitchen items such as flour, onions, and pulses right at major metro stations, starting from Rajiv Chowk

Soon, buy your atta, dal and onions at subsidised prices at Delhi metro stations

Starting at Rajiv Chowk metro station and expanding to 15-20 high-traffic stations, this initiative aims to provide subsidized rates on items like flour, onions, and pulses. Depending on how it works in Delhi, this initiative could be expanded to other metros&nbsp;

Finding it difficult to find time for your grocery shopping? Well, if you're a Delhi metro commuter then there's good news for you. You will soon be able to do your basic provision shopping for items such as flour, onions, dals at the metro station itself.&nbsp;
The government plans to introduce retail stores operated by the National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of India (NCCF) at 15-20 high-traffic metro stations this month, offering these items at subsidized rates, as per The Economic Times. If successful in Delhi, this initiative could expand to metro cities like Chennai, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. The objective is to make subsidized food items more accessible to a wider audience. Previously, NCCF sold tomatoes at subsidized rates in Delhi when market prices surged above Rs 200 per kilogram.

NCCF had earlier collaborated with e-commerce platform magicpin to sell groceries, including onions and pulses, at reduced prices through the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). This partnership came after a successful stint where tomatoes were sold at Rs 70 per kilogram when market prices soared above Rs 100.
Currently, NCCF is retailing onions at a subsidized rate of Rs 25 per kilogram in Delhi, with plans to extend this subsidy to other states beyond the Delhi-NCR region, aiming to cover all states from Jammu and Kashmir to Kerala, as per a recent statement by NCCF.

Delhi Metro tweets urging commuters not to make reels inside the train or station premises

The DMRC on Friday urged commuters not to make reels inside metro trains and warned that any activity that may cause inconvenience to passengers is strictly prohibited. A number of controversial videos filmed in the Delhi Metro went viral in the last several weeks.&nbsp;
Recently, a video of a young woman gyrating to the popular Bollywood song "Assalam-e-Ishqum" surfaced online.
Prior to this, a string of other videos made inside metro trains and at-station platforms went viral on social media, prompting the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to appeal to commuters to refrain from indulging in such activities.
On Friday, the DMRC used a nursery rhyme to drive home its point.
"Open your camera, Na Na Na! #DelhiMetro," the DMRC said in a tweet.
Along with the tweet, it also shared a poster which read, "Johnny Johnny! Yes, Papa? Making Reels in Metro? No Papa!" "Any such activity that may cause inconvenience to passengers is strictly prohibited inside the Delhi Metro," read the footnote on the poster.
In May, a video of a young couple kissing each other inside a metro coach went viral on social media, following which the DMRC urged its commuters to "refrain from indulging in such obscene activities".
It also requested commuters to report such incidents to the "nearest available metro staff/CISF immediately, so that appropriate action can be taken".
Social media users have responded to these videos with anger and humour.
After the video of the couple kissing surfaced online, many social media users had urged the DMRC to take action against the couple, while some questioned the need for filming the act.
Some people made mirth.
Reacting to the video, a social media user said, the youth was "performing CPR on her, what is wrong with that?" In a statement, the DMRC said it "expects commuters to behave responsibly while using the Delhi Metro and follow all social etiquette and protocols which are acceptable in the society".
"Commuters should not indulge in any indecent/obscene activity that may cause discomfort or could offend the sensibilities of other fellow commuters. DMRC's Operations and Maintenance Act in fact lists out indecency as a punishable offence under Section 59," it said.

A woman has alleged that she was sexually harassed by a man at a station on Delhi Metro's yellow line, officials said on Friday.
The woman took to Twitter to narrate her ordeal following which the Delhi Police asked her to provide her contact details so that they can reach her.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation also replied to the woman and asked for the exact time of the incident.
In a series of tweets, the woman claimed that on Thursday afternoon when she got off at the Jor Bagh metro station, a man approached her on the pretext of confirming an address.
"While travelling on the yellow line today, I faced sexual harassment at the Jor Bagh Station. The man had asked for my help w an address during the metro ride.
"I helped him, then got off at my station and sat on the platform to book a cab. The man approached me again at the station under the garb of confirming the address. Believing dat he needed help.." The man flashed his genitals while trying to to show me a file containing the address, the woman alleged in a tweet.
The woman also alleged that the policeman standing on the platform did not take any action after she approached her for help.
"I approached a policeman standing on the platform, but he flatly refused to help me and asked me to go upstairs to talk about it.
"I was still scared but I somehow managed to go upstairs and found other policemen. I asked dem to take me to the CCTV room so dat I could recognise him," she said in another tweet.
The entire incident was captured on camera but then we saw him get into a different metro and leave.
The woman alleged that when she asked the authorities to do something, they instead blamed her for creating a scene.
"I asked them to do something about it but instead they started blaming me and said dat I shouldve created a scene & tht theres nothing they can do now since he managed to leave," the woman said in her tweets.
The woman said she is scared to step out of her house and "the incident has completely shaken up my belief that metros are safe." She said it's important that this reaches the right authorities, including the DMRC and the Delhi Police so that they know "how bad their safety measures are".
Replying to her tweets, the DMRC asked the woman to share the exact time of the incident.
"Please provide exact time of the incident. In such cases, commuters are requested to immediately report the matter to the nearest metro staff or contact customer care centre at the station. They can also call, DMRC helpline no. 155370 or CISF helpline no. 155655 so that immediate help can be provided," the DMRC said in its tweet.

Delhi Metro Rail Cooperation and the Institute of Liver and Biliary sciences have launched a new campaign to spread awareness about Hepatitis. In an event held on 26th November, volunteers at the Metro Bhawan were screened and vaccinated. The campaign seeks to spread awareness about Hepatitis C and B through advocacy strategies and improved health care initiatives.

As early as next year, Delhi Metro will connect to the New Delhi railway station platforms directly. Commuters will no longer have to cross clogged lanes to get to the platform as DMRC will build a 225-metre skywalk, as an extension of the foot over bridge inside the railway station. This will give commuters direct access to the Delhi Metro station, the Airport Express Line, autorickshaw stands and parking lots.
