DMRC Urges Avoiding Kite Flying Near Elevated Metro Lines

The Delhi Metro is a giant electric train that helps millions of people travel around Delhi.

Many of its tracks run high above the streets, with very powerful electric wires overhead that give the trains their power.

Soon, India will celebrate its Independence Day, and people like to celebrate by flying colorful kites in the sky.

But if a kite string touches the electric wires, it can cause big problems.

The trains could stop running, and the person holding the kite could get badly hurt.

Some kite strings are coated with shiny metal or glass, which makes them even more dangerous near electricity.

The people who run the Metro are asking everyone to fly kites in open parks and fields, far away from train tracks.

They have also put special teams near stations to quickly remove any kite strings that appear.

Following these simple rules keeps everyone safe and helps the trains keep running.
