: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has introduced an advanced anti-drag safety system in five metro trains to prevent accidents caused by passengers or objects getting trapped in closing doors. Under the new technology, if any part of a passenger's clothing, bag or another object remains stuck in the train doors, the system detects the obstruction and automatically triggers a safety response, bringing the train to a halt before it can move further. The initiative is aimed at strengthening passenger safety and reducing the risk of serious incidents on metro platforms. How the Anti-Drag System Works The system uses sensors to identify situations in which an object remains trapped between the train doors. If an obstruction is detected, it activates an alert and prevents the train from continuing its movement. This is particularly important in situations where a passenger may be dragged along the platform after the doors close on clothing, luggage or other belongings. The technology is designed to provide an additional layer of protection beyond the existing door-obstruction detection mechanism. Safety Measures Being Strengthened The introduction of the system in five trains is part of DMRC's efforts to improve operational safety through technological upgrades. Metro authorities have been focusing on reducing door-related incidents and ensuring that passengers board and exit trains safely. The new arrangement is expected to help minimise risks arising from accidental entrapment, especially during crowded hours when passengers may rush to enter or leave trains. Its performance and operational effectiveness will be important considerations as the corporation evaluates further deployment. Passengers have also been advised to remain alert, keep their belongings clear of closing doors and avoid attempting to board or exit after the warning signal.
