Flowerpots placed on balcony walls in Noida have become a safety hazard, posing a threat to the lives of people. In view of this serious situation, the Noida Authority has taken strict measures and issued directives for the residents to remove such pots. In the event of any accidents, legal action will be taken against the Apartment Owners Association (AOA) president, secretary, builder or flat owner.
In the city's high-rise buildings, flowerpots placed on the edges of balcony walls are turning out to be deadly. While people often use them as a gesture of environmental love and decoration, they tend to ignore the safety risks involved. This came after the Noida Authority took serious note of a recent incident in which a child died after a flowerpot fell from the balcony. Following this, strict action has been initiated.
The Authority CEO, Lokesh M, has issued a clear directive for the immediate removal of flowerpots from parapet walls. He stated that if any accident occurs in the future due to a falling flowerpot, a case will be registered against the concerned AOA president, secretary, builder or flat owner.
Recently, a similar incident occurred in a society in Pune where a child playing in the compound died after being hit by a falling flowerpot. The video of the incident went viral across social media platforms.
Last year, in Greater Noida’s Palm Valley Society, 31-year-old Chitranshu Raghuvanshi died after a brick placed under a flowerpot fell on his head.
