   But people soon realized that the number of travellers in the Delhi Metro is much larger than what the Delhi Metro can actually accommodate. However a very miserable situation arises at stations like Rajiv Chowk, especially when there is some occasion like the International Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan, which is the third station from Rajiv Chowk on Line - 3 (Blue Line), the Dwarka-Indraprastha track. The same uncontrollable situation is noticed at other important stations like Kashmere Gate, Chandni Chowk and New Delhi in the fully underground Yellow Line track from Central Secretariat to Vishwavidyalaya. These stations may rightly be put in some special category where thousands of passengers can be seen de-boarding or boarding the trains everyday.

    When the trains stops at any of these special category stations, the passengers de-boarding experience an uncontrollable attack by the incoming passengers and there is a stampede-like situation which even security personnel cannot possibly check. The forcible entry and exit of passengers pushing madly in opposite directions can lead to any mishappenning like injuries to passengers or toppling down of old men, women or children. The women especially experience horrible moments at such times with their honour at stake as eve-teasers can tease them easily and make them feel helpless till they come out of the crowdie mess.
