Gurugram: Korean Woman’s Restaurant Faces Power, Water Cut-Off; Says ‘I am Forced to Leave India’
@Source: timesnownews.com
A South Korean woman, owner of a restaurant at Global Foyer Mall on Gurugram's Golf Course Road, has alleged harassment by the mall’s builder and management. She claimed they repeatedly cut off water and electricity supply to her restaurant, and warned she may be forced to leave India if the issue—ongoing for the past three years—is not resolved. The incident came to light after the woman, Hyang Lee, posted a video on a social media platform, prompting intervention from the Gurugram Police, PTI reported. Lee said she has been running her restaurant, MISO, for 14 years, fully complying with Indian laws and paying rent on time. "For the past three years, the mall management and builder have been harassing me by illegally disconnecting essential services. If no action is taken, I'll be forced to return to my country with a bitter experience," Lee stated in her video. On Thursday, Lee filed a complaint at the Sushant Lok Police Station against the mall management and also wrote to the South Korean Embassy, claiming the mall management's actions aim to force her to vacate the leased premises. Claiming that the disruptions have caused her significant financial losses, Lee urged authorities to protect her right to operate her business. The Gurugram Police issued a statement assuring that, despite the civil nature of the case, they would facilitate a meeting between both parties on Monday. On Friday, a meeting was held between both the parties at the police station, where it was revealed that she has been running the restaurant at the mall for around 14 years, the police said. The mall management had issued a notice to Lee for Rs 9 lakh, claiming damages caused to the building due to water allegedly leaking from her restaurant. However, Lee did not pay this amount, resulting in a dispute over the utility cut-offs, the police added. "The dispute regarding electricity and water was resolved in the last meeting, but a meeting is scheduled for Monday to address the remaining Rs 9 lakh dispute. This meeting will take place in the presence of the legal teams for both parties," a Gurugram Police spokesperson said. (With Agency Inputs)
