Now Post covid, I am here again and I am really convinced by the comprehensive safety measures for customers at Acropolis mall like no other. Out of all these washing hands is the safest measure to keep Covid at bay and Acropolis mall has implemented this measure. However while Acropolis mall maintains the safety norms, it is our duty to take safety measures in the new normal situation by sanitizing and washing hand and wearing mask. However I urge people not to go out in gathering if they are unwell and we need to take care of our own safety in the new normal.

It is quite heartening to see different types of lip smacking food items and immunity booster as well during this time. The special menu at the food court is mouth-watering. I think people can come and enjoy their favourite monsoon delicacy here taking all safety measures and celebrate life which is the need of the hour in the new normal situation”, said Sayantani Guhathakurta .
