The initiative will benefit divyangjans, pregnant women, women with infants, senior citizens and injured persons by enabling them to pass through security checks with greater ease and reduced waiting time.

Highlighting the importance of accessible transport, DMRC officials said the step reinforces the corporation’s commitment to providing a smooth and hassle-free experience for all sections of society. The facility will be implemented with the help of the CISF, and security personnel may ask for relevant documentation in case of any doubt over eligibility.

Officials said the new frisking protocol was part of the ongoing efforts to ensure a more inclusive travel environment and set a benchmark for public transportation systems across India.
