Faulty lock traps children in smoke-filled room; Goa luxury hotel told to pay Rs 10 lakh
A New Delhi consumer commission ordered Le Meridien Goa to pay ten lakh rupees. This compensation followed an incident where two children were trapped in a smoke-filled room. The hotel was found deficient in service after a malfunctioning door lock caused the issue. The family had paid over fifty thousand rupees for their four-night vacation stay. The commission rejected the hotel's jurisdiction objection based on its Delhi branch office.
