Serious Concerns Raised Over Recent Protests Carried out on Metro Tracks

The recent protest on Pune Metro tracks has raised serious safety and security concerns. Demonstrators managed to bypass security, reach the tracks and disrupt metro services- posing a direct threat to both passengers and infrastructure.

Recent incident of protest at one of the Pune Metro tracks has raised serious concerns about the lapses in the security system. The demonstrators managed to skillfully pass the security and reach the tracks in an attempt to carry out the protest further. Onlookers wonder if the security of the Metro firm is capable enough to handle high-risk situations.

The ease with which they assessed such a sensitive area highlights serious lapses in security protocols. Unlike Delhi Metro, which is secured by CISF, Pune Metro relies on private security agencies that may lack the training to handle high-risk situations. The incident also raises the question: What if this were a deliberate act of sabotage?

Authorities must reassess metro security, implement stricter access control, and consider deploying police personnel at key stations to prevent such breaches. The safety of thousands of daily commuters depends on urgent action.
