The army man staying in the colony had boarded the elevator at the fourth floor and before he stepped in the elevator cabin suddenly had a free fall to the bottom of the apartment building that’s managed by a private realtor. The mishap occurred at tower 58 of the colony.
Biswarup Banerjee, the secretary of the resident’s association, alleged: “The realtor has overlooked the maintenance of the lifts over the years despite repeated complaints.” Resident Gopa Pal said: “The lifts of the towers – 29, 34 and 58 were malfunctioning for three years but they didn’t bother.” The realtor, Anup Purakayastha agreed about the dearth of surveillance, and said: “We’d engaged a third party supervisor for maintenance but it seems they were negligent.”
