[Resolved]  Otis, Hyderabad (India) — Not following testing / safety measures post installation of OTIS elevator

Address:

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

My name is Chandrashekar Sethuraman from Hyderabad. Even though I have raised a complaint on Feb, 10, 2014 for not following proper procedure/ safety measures, but allowed the elevator which is not even completely installed, Mr. Srinivas (DGM, Hyderabad)from OTIS - has been ignoring my complaint stating that they have followed the safety steps.

Developers “M/s.SHREEMUKH CREATORSSHREEMUKH’S KONTHAM TOWERS1-10-373 to 1-10-388, Brahmanwadi, Begumpet, Hyderabad - 500 016 (Where the OTIS elevator was installed half-way)

It is so shocking to know that the Installation happened on Feb. 9, 2014 (Sunday) in the late evening (I am also surprised to know as to how come the technicians and other staff from OTIS worked on a Sunday and that too late through the evening/ night), and allowed to one of the owners and their friends and family (even there was a handicapped person in their family) from 5:00 AM of Monday Feb. 10, 2014.

I was actually told that it would take 2-3 days of testing/ trail before OTIS can give a GREEN signal to even test it by passengers but here is a case where the passengers were allowed to use it without even testing it. The sad part is that there was no one from the OTIS or from the Builder side when the elevator was operated on Monday Feb. 10, 2014.

This apt complex is just about 60% complete only and likely to be completed only end of this year or so. So how come OTIS, Hyderabad headed by Mr. Srinivas has given the permission to the builder, who in turn accepted the request from the owner to operate the elevator by themselves.
