Nagpur: Residents are more angry with the rejection into the Nagpur Metro for those who have not received two Covid vaccine shots.
The passengers argue that there are no restrictions charged to travel on the city bus and want Mahametro to follow the suit.
“The security guards at the station refused to enter passengers and their children if they failed to produce a two-fired vaccine certificate.
Because the government has not started vaccinations for children, they will not be able to use the Metro,” Commuter told toi.
A spokesman for Metro Nagpur said, “We only follow the NMC command of ‘solving the chain’.” Commissioner of the City of Radhakrishnan B clarified that this guideline was issued by the state government for local trains.
“NMC has asked the Metro to provide representation in this regard and we will approach the state government looking for relaxation,” he said.
Asha Patil, a resident of Bansi Nagar, said he recently wanted to take the Metro to Sitabuldi with his two children, but no one was allowed to enter.
“I have one dose of vaccine and my children have not been vaccinated.
I have to travel with the city bus, which takes twice the time and costs doubling,” said Patil.
Sanjay Yadav, a student from Khapri Village, is also not allowed to ride the metro because he only received one shot.
“I had to go to Zero Mile station when I worked on campus.
I went to Khapri station to ride the metro but was denied entered.
As a result, I had to walk back to Wardha Road and take a bus.
I waste one hour at no cost.
Vaccination rules don’t enter Sense and Metro Nagpur must immediately drop it, “said Yadav.
BB Sharma, a senior citizen of Chinchbhuvan who has to go for a medical examination, go to Shankar Nagar station to take the metro.
He was accompanied by his grandson, who had not received a vaccine and, therefore, was not allowed to rise.
“I am a parent and can not stand the city bus.
Senior citizens cannot be traveled alone and those who accompany them must be allowed to use the metro,” Sharma said.
