In a firm enforcement of metro regulations, a commuter travelling from Madavara Metro Station to Magadi Road Metro Station was fined ₹500 on Monday (April 28, 2025), for violating metro rules.
The passenger was penalised after being caught eating while onboard a Namma Metro train on April 26, 2025. The incident came to light when a concerned co-passenger recorded the violation and shared it on social media.
