A five-year-old girl died after allegedly getting trapped in a grill-fitted lift at a women’s hostel in Hyderabad’s Gachibowli area. The child, identified as Bistu Saif, was staying with her grandparents, who worked as security guards at the hostel premises
The Telangana High Court has initiated a Suo Motu Public Interest Litigation over the State’s failure to enact a law regulating lift and elevator safety. The Bench directed the State to file its counter-affidavit within four weeks, while noting that interim measures may be necessary to prevent further fatalities.
