Ansal brothers ask SC to de-seal Uphaar cinema premises
Real-estate barons Ansal brothers on Monday moved the Supreme Court seeking de-sealing of the Uphaar cinema premises where a major fire incident had taken place in 1997. On June 13, 1997, fifty-nine people were killed due to asphyxiation and over 100 were injured as fire engulfed the cinema during the screening of ‘Border’ movie. Uphaar has remained sealed since then.
