Welcome to a brave new world! After four months of lockdown, the opening of malls saw mixed reaction on Day 1, with a large number of people visiting it, but not necessarily shopping. Unlike the western suburb that has a seafront, the eastern suburb has limited publuc recreation amenities and the biggest of malls here have always been an attraction. While today’s figure was almost 2,000 plus people, the average footfall pre-Covid-19 at this place has been 25,000.

The 12 lakh square feet RCity Mall in eastern suburbs, one of the largest ones, could be one of the best prepared ones to face the post-pandemic situation! Mid-Day did a walk through to the entire process of this mall which seems one of the sturdiest with meticulous detailing in eastern suburbs.
