CISF Tightens Delhi Metro Security Checks Ahead of Independence Day
India's Independence Day is coming soon, so security officers are going to check bags and belongings more carefully at Delhi Metro stations starting Sunday.
These special security officers are called CISF.
Because they will check more people, lines might get very long at some stations, especially in the morning and evening rush hours.
The people in charge told passengers to leave a little extra time for their trips and to be patient with the security officers.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Metro wants to know what passengers think about its services, so it started a big survey.
Anyone can answer the survey on the Delhi Metro website.
The survey asks about things like how easy it is to get to the Metro, the quality of service, and how safe passengers feel.
It will be open for one month, until August 14.
The answers will help the Metro make things better for everyone.
The CISF will intensify security checks for passengers at Delhi Metro stations starting Sunday ahead of Independence Day.
Enhanced checks may cause long queues at some Metro stations, especially during peak hours until August 16.
DMRC advised passengers to allow extra travel time and cooperate with security personnel during checks.
