lift

HYDERABAD: A notice that house maids and delivery boys should not use the lifts of the flat is getting controversial. The controversial notice belongs to a housing society in Hyderabad.

The notice says that house maids and delivery boys and other workers will be fined Rs 1,000 if they use the lifts. This notice was shared by many people on social media.

As a society we are programmed to hide our dark and dirty secrets and today we think the people who do our hard labour work cannot coexist in a same space as we are. Incase they are caught? Like it’s a crime? Fine of 1000? It’s probably 25% of most of their salary. pic.twitter.com/bmwkcs37J9

The replies to the post include comments like, 'Indian middle class and upper middle class staying in urban centers is one of the most classiest and racist communities.'
'This is literally what the ill effects of caste system is all about. Segregation of people doing certain jobs and then it was followed up by discrimination. Modern liberals living in posh societies are just repeating the same thing.'
'Horrible. The delivery companies (courier, restaurants and others) should ask people to come and pick stuff up from downstairs. If you can’t treat people who delivery stuff to your door well, then go and get the stuff yourselves.'
