Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation [bmrcl] — Embarrassment at Cubbon Park Station

At 1720hrs on 27/7/22 at Cubbon Park Station I was not allowed to enter by Security because I was carrying Cigarette pocket and a Match Box. When I told them that only compressed gas ie. Lighter, is not allowed as per the Board kept at the Entrance. I was humiliated in front of others and was not allowed till, I disposed them. Please clarify whether consumer can carry cigarette and match Box. I was not carrying them to smoke.
