Viral Post Questions Mumbai Airport Security Personnel
A joint X account, Abhi and Niyu (@abhiandniyu), shared concerns about security personnel at Mumbai Metro. In their post, they said authorities need to take immediate action to improve security. But why? They pointed out that staff seem to be distracted and not fully focused on their duties.
They pointed out that security staff are often busy scrolling reels, and sometimes don’t even check bags or passengers properly. The post also claimed that instead of staying alert, many are seen sleeping, chatting, or just passing the time. Honestly, if this is true, it’s a bit concerning because security isn’t something you can take lightly, especially in a busy metro system.

One netizen added, “I have mainly observed this on Metro Line 1, even though it’s one of the busiest lines. There’s a lack of supervision, insufficient staff, and limited entry points.”
Another comment read, “That’s the state of security guards across India—in housing societies, malls, stations, gardens, multiplexes, schools, and more.”
