Major festive season blow as shutdown looms large over top three premium Delhi malls
PTC News Desk: Three of South Delhi’s most prominent shopping complexes — DLF Promenade, DLF Emporio, and Ambience Mall in Vasant Kunj — are grappling with an unprecedented crisis that could force them to shut down temporarily.
For the first time, these popular shopping hubs — frequented by celebrities, tourists, and luxury shoppers — are facing an acute water shortage that has crippled daily operations.
70% of Toilets Closed, Restaurants Struggling
According to mall management, water supply from the Delhi Jal Board has been disrupted for several days, leaving their storage tanks almost empty. The shortage has become so severe that roughly 70% of toilets are closed, while restaurants are unable to maintain basic hygiene.
Many eateries have been forced to scale down or pause their services altogether, as they struggle with washing dishes, cleaning, and providing drinking water. “We don’t have enough water to maintain sanitation or cleanliness. It’s becoming impossible to serve customers properly,” said a restaurant operator inside one of the malls.
Malls Threaten to shutdown if Crisis Persists
Authorities at the malls have warned that if water supply isn’t restored within two to three days, they may be compelled to halt operations entirely. Such a closure could lead to huge financial losses and threaten thousands of jobs. The Delhi Jal Board has yet to announce when normal supply will resume, and insiders caution that the situation may worsen if swift action isn’t taken.
