The growing trend of dancing in public spaces, notably in metro trains and railway platforms, has sparked controversy and calls for action.
In recent times, there has been a noticeable increase in the trend of people dancing in metro trains, railway platforms, and other public spaces. Despite receiving criticism online and reminders from authorities, content creators continue this trend. Recently, videos emerged on social media showing a young woman dancing to Bhojpuri songs inside a moving local train in Mumbai and at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), causing uproar.
The Twitter account @mumbaimatterz shared these videos and tagged GRP Mumbai, DRM Mumbai, and the Railway Ministry, urging them to stop such activities. The footage depicted the woman dancing inside both general and ladies' coaches of Mumbai local trains and on the platform of CSMT station, disturbing fellow commuters.

Many people criticized her actions, deeming them a nuisance for others. They described her dance as "obscene" and inappropriate for public transport. Some called for strict action from authorities against her.
In response to the online post, the official Mumbai Central DRM handle instructed the Security Department of Mumbai Division to investigate the incident and take necessary action. They acknowledged the issue and assured action would be taken.
Various individuals expressed their opinions on the matter. One user suggested that the woman should be arrested and expelled from Mumbai. Another commented that society plays a role in such behavior as people emulate what they see. A third person emphasized the need for law enforcement to intervene and for passengers to act responsibly in such situations.
