    In Goa a senior lady doctor died in a lift accident. We have the Chalta Hai thinking. We do not value human lives. We are the children of smaller Gods. We need to think out of the box!!! Has one ever heard of a lift technician jailed for negligence causing death. Condolences to the family and loved ones.

    It is deeply saddening that such a young life was lost, reportedly due to poor maintenance. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. We hope the lift company will provide proper compensation and support to his family.

    Case should be filled for lift company as per my understanding sensor was not working or the lift was manually operated. Whatever it may be such unscientific lifts should be banned in India
