Beer bar was built above the well.
There has been a stir on a busy beer bar and an old well under the hotel on MG Road in Indore. The Indore Municipal Corporation confirmed the well after investigation and has instructed the hotel owner to vacate it within two days. This incident took place in front of MG Road at BG Restaurant. The hotel owner initially denied the well, but action was taken on the instructions of the Divisional Commissioner. This incident is raising concern in the city after the Bawdi accident in Juni Indore 2 years ago.
In the Juni Indore police station area of Indore, 36 people died after a slab collapsed about 2 years ago. In that entire case, all the wells and stepwells of Indore city were investigated by the Indore Municipal Corporation. However, when the information about the well being reached to the divisional commissioner inside the busy restaurant on MG Road, the busiest route of Indore, was stirred.
Hotel owner was issued notice
Initially notices were issued to the hotel owner by the Indore Municipal Corporation. Information was sought from them whether the well is present inside your restaurant. On this, no information was given to the Indore Municipal Corporation by the hotel operator. Meanwhile, many complaints were reaching Divisional Commissioner Deepak Singh. While giving instructions to the Indore Corporation Commissioner, he gave instructions to the Indore Municipal Corporation to go inside the restaurant in the whole matter. After this, a team of the corporation reached busy time and restaurant. Started investigation there.
Water shown 20 feet below
During this time, Indore Municipal Corporation saw water about 20 feet below. The corporation confirmed the well being busy bar and inside the restaurant. At the same time, while issuing notice to the hotel operator in this whole matter, he directed that he should vacate this place immediately. Also, he also answered questions about some kind of security arrangements about the hotel operator.
Let me tell you that the place where this hotel and bar were operating is the busiest place in the city. There used to be a lot of people coming and going there. But, the way the Indore Municipal Corporation got information about Bawdi and well in the entire city 2 years ago, even then there was a well inside the hotel and bar in the busiest area of Indore. No information was given about it.
