This mall in north Bengaluru is one of the latest and biggest in Bengaluru. The rain created havoc, and all sides of the mall were filled with water. The mall management is trying to flush out the water to make it accessible for customers.
Ever since the mall was inaugurated in 2023, it has been in the news for such a mess and raised questions about its location. Last year, Bengaluru police directed the management of Phoenix Mall of Asia to keep the establishment shut for 15 days as it has been causing traffic chaos in the north part of the tech capital. City Police Commissioner B Dayananda issued orders for this newly opened mall, and later, they moved to the court challenging the order. The unplanned parking of the mall then created massive traffic jams in the area.
