The latest one is from Pune, where a notice asked all pets, domestic helps and service personnel to use only the lift assigned to them.
As the tweet garnered a lot of attention, many argued that it was not a one-off instance from Pune but a pretty common practice in cities across the country.
Many argued that the house helps were usually advised to take such service lifts because they stopped on every floor and such frequent stops would inconvenience people who reside on higher floors.
its less about the so-called maintenance, its more about the “mental comfort” of the orthodox residents/rule-makers, who feel uncomfortable cuz a service worker is in the same cubicle as them for like 20 seconds.
Better is to have a service lift and a goods/utility lift identified and lable them so, instead of labeling people.
