Here are important points:
- Pushpa Bector, executive vice president and head - premium malls division at DLF, denied the existence of any such rule. She said that the mall does not deny entry based on appearances and clothes.
- Since last week, the DLF Mall of India in Sector 18 has, reportedly, denied entry to individuals coming in bathroom slippers.
- As per the reports, the security staff is doing this is in response to an incident last week when a guest wearing slippers got an electric shock.
- Clubs and fine-dining restaurants have often exercised similar rules. However, this is probably the first time a mall in NCR has enforced something like this.
- It is learnt that the Mall of India sees a footfall of about one lakh per day on its busiest days.
