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 posted online showed a huge rush with the security staff unable to control the crowd.

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.

Balconies and escalators were see

n filled with shoppers.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
