India has recently seen a completely different situation as a result of the recent rise of short-video platforms. In India, individuals, businesses, etc. are launching campaigns and people are showing their abilities like acting, singing, dancing, culinary skills, etc. to make themselves popular, the utilisation of short videos on social media platforms like TikTok, Vmate, Likee, and Instagram is on the rise.
While such applications are, on the one hand, providing a fantastic platform for aspiring talent who cannot afford a studio to film a beautiful video like Bollywood celebs, on the other hand, they occasionally cause a lot of difficulties for not only users but also for others who are around them.

A lady was accused of breaking the law by dancing in public for her Instagram clip. On Twitter, the video of her dancing to the Tamil song has gone viral, but it seems that not everyone likes it. In the clips, a young woman can be seen appearing to record videos for an Instagram reel on a subway platform and inside a train.

The young girl was criticised and referred to as a nuisance by many. Some Twitteratis seemed unconcerned, but the majority questioned why such actions were allowed on public transit.

A Twitter user reported a woman’s video of herself dancing on a Hyderabad metro train to Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL), and she has now landed in big trouble.

Authorities have stated that when HMRL was made aware of the video, action will be taken against her. According to HMRL’s public relations officer Krishnanand Malladi, action has been taken as a result of a Twitter complaint, as photography and videography are prohibited inside the train and the platform. He said,
“It’s true that people do it often but if caught, it’s an offence, as there is no permission. Acts like dance are also not allowed on the train or on the platform.”
The PRO stated that although the lady in the video has not yet been recognised, she would probably get a fine for making it.

According to HMRL regulations, taking pictures from the concourse level, the street level, and the ticketing area is not allowed. An official of L&T Metro Rail stated that special authorization and a price are required for shooting for movies, television shows, commercials, and documentaries.
While photography and filming are not specifically mentioned in the Metro Railways Act, additional offences carry fines up to Rs 500, such as being intoxicated on the metro and causing a disturbance.
Nevertheless, her video has constantly gone viral and people are expressing their opinions on it
Don’t encourage this type of useless things.
Metro is not your private property to deal.

Now whom is this girl harming?
Come on India!
Yrr means you have not courage to stand with truth in any serious case.
You will not raise your voice to support a victim who really needs.
You can’t open your mouth against the reall crime which really harms……— Jyoti Singh Raghuvanshi (@JS_Raghuvanshi) July 21, 2022
