The origins of the controversial notice are still unclear. However, an image of the laminated notice has been circulated far and wide on the internet.
What Was The Notice About?
Twitter
The upsetting notice was a reminder for all non-resident employees, delivery personnel, and house help frequenting the housing society. It warned them not to use the passenger lift in society and apparently asked them to stick to using the assigned lift for them. Not only that, it notified the people who did not follow this rule that they would be levied a fine of Rs 1000 if they were caught not following the instructions.

According to reports, the notice was put up in a housing society in Hyderabad. However, the exact location of the society was never revealed in the online posts.
How Did The Internet React?
People on the internet were appalled by the actions taken by society management. One user pointed out, ¡°As a society we are programmed to hide our dark and dirty secrets and today we think the people who do our hard labour work cannot coexist in a same space as we are. Incase they are caught? Like it¡¯s a crime? Fine of 1000? It¡¯s probably 25% of most of their salary.¡±
While some did side with housing society¡¯s standards and wrote, ¡°Every building has something called a service elevator. It¡¯s the nature of work they do, they shouldn¡¯t cause inconvenience to tenants and other public using the space. This is normal. Shut up and sit down.¡±
I have seen construction workers in the west grab a coffee in the same line as me, share the same space as me, maid¡¯s respected and treated with dignity. I don¡¯t get it why the hell are we so elitist and about what? What¡¯s the privilege!

Pathetic. Basically all maids and service staff should boycott this society. Such inhumane ppl

The least we can do is oppose such discriminatory behaviours. These are illegal.
