Building Safety Measures Initiated
After a partial building collapse caused by an equipment storage bay overload, Al Mulla Plaza, a renowned shopping center in Dubai, remains closed to the public. The incident, resulting in injuries to two individuals, prompted immediate safety protocols to assess and address structural concerns.
Closure for Repairs and Assessment
The administration team confirmed the closure, estimating a repair duration of “two or three weeks.” All retail outlets within the mall have been temporarily shuttered while the residential section continues to operate.
Safety Precautions Underway
The incident was attributed to an overloaded equipment storage bay, leading to the partial collapse. Subsequent measures are underway to evaluate the structure’s integrity and undertake necessary repairs.
Ensuring Public Safety
While the closure impacts retail operations, prioritizing safety measures aligns with ensuring the safety and security of visitors and workers. The administration’s swift response underscores their commitment to thorough assessments and repairs before reopening the mall to the public.
