Chandigarh: 24 hours on, no FIR in Elante mall mishap
Hindustan TimesMore than 24 hours after an accident inside Chandigarh’s Nexus Elante Mall, where a 13-year-old girl and her aunt were severely injured after a granite slab from a pillar collapsed, the Chandigarh Police are yet to register a first information report. On June 22, 11-year-old Shahbaz Singh from Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar died after a compartment of the mall’s toy train overturned, trapping him under the vehicle. Maisha’s aunt, Surbhi is still unwell and that is why she is not able to get her statement recorded with the police.” However, SHO Industrial Area Jaspal Singh said, “We have not received any formal complaint from the affected parties to proceed with an FIR.” This isn’t the first time that safety lapses at Elante mall have resulted in tragedy. We want justice for our child.” With two major accidents at Elante mall in just over three months, the enforcement of safety standards at one of Chandigarh’s busiest commercial hubs is under scrutiny.
