Bhopal Metro Lacks Passenger Insurance Cover
The Bhopal Metro in India is running without insurance for passengers.
This means if someone gets hurt while traveling, they won't get any money to help.
Other big cities in India have this insurance, but Bhopal doesn't.
Experts say it's important for safety.
The metro officials say they will add insurance later when their ticket machines are fully working.
But some people think safety should come first, not technology.
Bhopal Metro operates without passenger accident insurance cover.
Over 10,000 daily commuters are affected by the lack of insurance.
Other major Indian metro systems automatically include accident insurance with tickets.
Metro officials plan to introduce insurance after the automatic ticketing system is operational.
Critics argue that safety measures should not depend on ticketing technology.
