Kolkata: After she fell through a 90-foot fire shaft adjacent to her new home on the 9th floor of Eden City Maheshtala, Anwesha’s father, Gautam Ghosh, a government employee, and other residents first took her to two local nursing homes and then to CMRI Hospital around 13 km away.
“We are all praying that she pulls through,” said Athar Khan, a neighbour who did the rounds of hospital with the family on Thursday night. Eden City residents protested outside the complex on Friday and sealed the sales office inside the complex. “The promoters hand over flats to owners without completing the building and sealing life-threatening gaps like the one through which the child fell. The authorities charge a maintenance fee of Rs 4,000-Rs 5,000 but do little,” said Sukanya Chakraborty, a homemaker on the 13th floor.
On Friday, the promoters came met representatives of the association and Anwesha’s family at the local police station and reportedly promised to address the concerns at the earliest. TOI tried to contact the promoters, Eden Real Estates Private Limited, but no one was willing to issue a statement till late on Friday. “We will take necessary action if the girl’s parents lodge a complaint,” said an officer of Maheshtala PS.
