The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had organised a street play festival at select Metro stations to woo tourists to visit the Delhi Metro Museum. The three-day-long festival, that concluded on Sunday was organised at the Patel Chowk, Akshardham and INA Metro stations.
Through the street plays, tourists were informed about the main attractions of the Delhi Metro Museum at Patel Chowk, which is the only such museum of Metro rails, in the entire South Asian region.
Patel Chowk, Akshardham and INA Metro stations had been selected for the shows since all these stations attract a number of tourists due to their proximity to major tourist spots in the city such as Jantar Mantar, Akshardham Temple and Delhi Haat.
Interesting information about the Metro museum was disseminated through a very interesting play involving historical characters Akbar and Birbal. leaflets detailing information about the museum were also simultaneously distributed to those watching the plays.
