A stray monkey unexpectedly joins commuters at a Delhi Metro station after passing through a turnstile and crossing a security barrier. A witness captured a viral video of a monkey roaming through the facility at Nawada Metro station on the Blue Line.
Running into a monkey is not uncommon in the northern Indian states. People in the video seem unconcerned or surprised by the sudden entry of a curious tourist at Navada Metro Station.
Watch the viral video of a monkey breaking into a Delhi Metro station:
Earlier in June, a monkey slipped into a metro train and traveled a short distance in Delhi.
It is said that he boarded the train from Akshardham Metro and traveled for about three or four minutes. The Delhi Metro Railway Corporation (DMRC) then stepped in and removed the monkey.
In response to the incident, DMRC said, “After being informed about the matter, the staff acted swiftly and the train was diverted to the next station.”

The business also said that “in consultation with the forest department, a standard operating procedure was to be devised to deal with such unforeseen situations arising out of their entry into the metro premises for the safety of passengers.”
People have been repeatedly warned not to feed monkeys at metro stations as such encounters can be dangerous for commuters as well.
