A possible major accident was narrowly averted at Rajhans Multiplex in Valsad after a portion of the auditorium ceiling collapsed just before the screening of Border 2. The incident occurred while entry for the 9:00 a.m. show was underway, moments before the film was scheduled to start.
Border 2 show cancelled in Valsad as ceiling collapses at multiplex; no casualties
In response to media reports, a piece of the POP (Plaster of Paris) ceiling situated near the front of the screen suddenly fell inside Screen 1. The collapse took place during an ongoing show, triggering panic amongst moviegoers present contained in the auditorium. Given the seriousness of the situation, the cinema management immediately cancelled the show and evacuated all patrons from the premises.
Fortunately, no injuries or casualties were reported. On the time of the incident, the audience was still within the technique of entering the hall, which helped prevent what might have been a way more serious end result. Officials confirmed that each one viewers were safely escorted out, and the world was secured shortly thereafter.
The incident has once more raised concerns around cinema hall safety and infrastructure maintenance, particularly in older or heavily used properties. Further details regarding structural checks or inspections on the multiplex are awaited.
The incident inevitably brings back memories of certainly one of India’s most tragic cinema-related disasters — the Uphaar Cinema fire in Delhi. On June 13, 1997, during a 3:00 p.m. screening of Border, a fireplace broke out within the basement transformers of the Green Park theatre. The tragedy claimed 59 lives as a result of asphyxiation, while over 100 people were seriously injured in the following stampede.
