We had been to Mantri Square, Malleshwaram, Bangalore and found it to be a SMOKE CHAMBER like many people have already mentioned.All Sides are fully covered with concrete walls without an inch gap. All this for just advertisement hoarding ?
It feels very claustrophobic, especially in the restrooms (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 a 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.
Remember in case of smoke due to fire
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 have photos of the mall, but unable to upload them here. (It just shows X mark)
