It was a total mayhem as thousands of people were seen waiting in lines at the Lulu Mall outlets in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi after the mall announced midnight sales with a special 50 per cent discount.

While initially it was pleasant, the outlets witnessed turmoil as the people rushed in huge numbers.

Videos also showed people crawling into the stores to shop even before the shutters were properly opened. The Lulu Mall was open for the public on July 6 from 11:59 pm till the dawn of July 7.

Irresponsible from @LuLuGroup_India to arrange such a 50% off promotion with such large crowds with no safety protocols when #COVID19 still at large in Kerala & India .God knows what’s going to happen in the coming weeks #Lulumall #midnightsale @AsianetNewsML @manoramanews pic.twitter.com/sVtdbdnHZJ
