Exclusive: Lake Mall Kolkata renting out emergency spaces to kiosks, putting visitors at risk | Watch Report

Now, malls in Kolkata are not just places for shopping but have also become zones of danger. Driven by the urge to earn more, mall authorities have started renting out common areas—such as lobbies, lifts, and spaces near escalators—to vendors. Despite clear directives from the municipal corporation, mall management continues to flout the rules.
