The incidents of people getting stuck in lifts are increasing continuously in Greno West. A major incident was narrowly avoided at 14 Avenue of Gaur City 2 on Monday morning. Here, 10 people including school children and women were traveling in the lift. The lift suddenly got stuck on the third floor. About 30 minutes after the complaint, the maintenance department staff arrived and took the people out of the lift.
Residents of the society say that despite paying huge maintenance charges, no improvements are being made in the lift. The cases of getting stuck in lifts are continuously increasing. Due to this there is an atmosphere of fear among the people. Jagdish Pathak, resident of 14 Avenue, Gaur City 2, said that on Monday morning the lift suddenly stopped with a jerk on the third floor. At that time, 10 people including school children and women were traveling in the lift.
The Automatic Rescue Device (ARD) system of the lift had completely failed. Due to this, to save the people trapped in the lift, the security personnel and maintenance staff had to manually open the lift and take the people out. It took about 30 minutes for the people trapped in the lift to come out. After this, people got out of the lift with great difficulty.
Nephoma President Annu Khan said that the Uttar Pradesh government has implemented the Lift Act, but the situation is still not improving. On Monday, children and women while going to school in 14 Avenue of Gaur City 2 were stuck in the lift for 30 minutes. After great difficulty everyone was taken out.
Even after the implementation of the Lift Act, people still do not know where to complain. People are still not aware to whom to complain about the increasing number of lifts in Greater Noida West, the District Magistrate, the Greater Noida Authority or the Police.
However, after people got stuck in the lift in Gaur City, the residents here have complained to Bisrakh police station in this matter. There are hundreds of societies in Greater Noida West, in which lakhs of people are living. There is an atmosphere of fear among the residents due to the daily incidents in the lift.
