Lift Falls from Third Floor at Metro Tower in Gwalior; Five Injured

A serious accident was narrowly averted at Metro Tower on Collectorate Road in Gwalior late Sunday night when a lift malfunctioned and fell from the third floor, injuring five people. According to residents, the lift had a history of technical issues that had been reported multiple times but were left unaddressed.

According to information, Prashant Tripathi, a resident of the building, was among the injured. He recounted that the incident occurred while he was descending from the fourth floor in the lift. The lift stopped on the third floor to pick up more passengers, but moments later, it suddenly plummeted. His wife, Varsha Tripathi, along with Dinesh Kumar and two others, were also inside the lift at the time. All five occupants sustained injuries to their arms and legs.

Residents had reportedly lodged several complaints with the building’s society management about the faulty lifts, but no action had been taken.
