Restricted seating arrangement triggers chaos; police officer among those injured in the ensuing ruckus in south Delhi
A group of people and a police officer sustained injuries when commuters blocked MB Road in south Delhi’s Sangam Vihar and damaged a few DTC buses on Thursday morning after not being allowed to board them due to the passenger limit under the new COVID-19 guidelines.
Under the ‘yellow alert’ announced by the Delhi government, buses can run with 50% of seating capacity (around 17 passengers) at a time. This has caused major inconvenience to commuters going to work via public transport.
Police said around 8.15 a.m. on Thursday, several calls regarding a road blockade by the public near Jamia Hamdard on MB Road were received. On reaching the spot, they found some bus commuters sitting on the road as bus drivers and marshalls were not allowing more than 17 passengers to board the vehicles.
