NEW DELHI: Almost two years after the Delhi Metro converted the first coach of every train into a women's only coach, Delhi men still seem to be unaware of this. In a drive that lasted a month, the CISF de-boarded a whopping 2,500 men from women's coaches.The special drive, which will be an on-going initiative by the CISF now, saw 1,000-odd men being fined for travelling in the women's coach.A CISF spokesman said, "10 teams of lady personnel have been constituted to check women's compartment and de-board male passengers." The stations near malls and infotech companies saw a larger influx of men in the reserved coaches, the spokesman said, adding helpline number 22185555 can be used to make a complaint. |
