Kolkata Metro is preparing to impose a fine on passengers breaching the basic yellow line rule at the station. Those who breach the rule will have to pay a fine of Rs 250. The new decision will be implemented from the beginning of next month. The decision is part of increasing passenger safety. This step is to promote discipline among passengers.

The yellow line in metro stations serves as a warning to passengers to maintain a safe distance from the tracks. However, despite repeated warnings, many passengers continue to ignore this guideline. To sort out this issue, the authorities have now decided to try a new way in the hope of restoring discipline among passengers in the station.

Crossing the yellow line will be considered an act of 'nuisance' in the metro area. It has also been decided to start a special enforcement drive from June 1 to monitor whether passengers are following the law. The Metro authorities expect that the new measure will help reduce the number of accidents in the station.
