<p>Carrying a whisky bottle inside the Delhi Metro could soon be a thing of the past. <br />According to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is in charge of Metro security, the decision to ban bottles of alcohol, inflammable liquid, is on the cards.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Now, people in drunken state are stopped from commuting in the Metro. But a commuter carrying a bottle of alcohol is permitted to board the train, provided the bottle is sealed.<br />“We are aware of the fact that alcohol is not included in the banned list. However, there are chances of the liquid being misused. We will discuss the issue with the related agencies and DMRC and decide the issue soon,” said CISF Commandant Arun Singh.<br /><br />A bottle of alcohol could be used as an inflammable substance to light fire on the Metro premises or even on the train by miscreants. The CISF official said since such kind of incidents could create a panic situation which might have unfortunate consequences, a decision on the issue would be taken shortly.<br /><br />However, people who very often carry bottle of alcohol, especially while on their way back home from work, do not find any merit in the decision.<br /><br />“I often carry a bottle as I love drinking at home after work. Liquor shops in my colony are closed by the time I reach home. I have been doing it for quite some time and I don’t find anything threatening in it,” said Rajeev, a resident of Noida who works in Jhandelwalan. <br />Rajeev added that several people in Noida and Ghazhibad who work in Delhi prefer buying their drink in the capital as alcohol is cheaper.<br /><br />“It is stretching security too far.
