Mantri Square Mall Is Not Fire Safe


















































































Photo’ sources – Mantri Square Mall Website, http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=50205091


We had been to Mantri Square, Malleshwaram, Bangalore and found it to be claustrophobic like many people have already mentioned.

All Sides are fully covered with concrete walls without an inch gap !

All this just for advertisement hoarding ?

It feels very claustrophobic .. especially in the restrooms, baby station (I had to go zig zag and zig zag) and towards the wings where there is Reliance Jewels etc..

There are good things about the mall, no doubt, the glass covering above entrance, the circular opening in the center of the mall etc..

If there is Fire,
yes they have fire exits and fire saftey measures……

BUT..


People could suffer suffocation...






Feedback has been sent to the mall on their site,


but nothing has been done yet.



Remember in case of smoke

1. Put a wet cloth/handkerchief on your nose/face. This will avoid suffocation
2. Crawl out (Fire/Hot air always goes up)
3. Walk fast. Do not run.


Take care !

    I don't think they will take this seriosly NOW. They might say, 'Let's not bother much about it. If something major happens, we can then take a call on it'!
