Men violate the ‘pink rule’ in Hyderabad Metros

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Men continue to enter and ride in Metro trains' women-only compartments brazenly, and Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited appears to be ignoring the thousands of complaints made by female passengers. Although the women-only section is prominently marked with large stickers reading "Ladies Only" and "Reserved for Ladies," men nonetheless enter the women's coach. Metro Rail officials have warned passengers that a Rs 200 fine would be imposed on men who enter the women's coach. The HMRL introduced Whatsapp number 7032224242 in 2018 for women passengers to lodge complaints if men invade the women's coach.
