Shopping malls are energy guzzlers, vulgar display of wealth

Targeting malls, a Union minister on Saturday described them as "energy guzzlers", which reflect "vulgar display" of money and sought regulations on such shopping centres.

"Shopping malls are vulgar display of wealth and a vulgar wastage of energy and space," minister of state for urban development Saugata Roy said at a seminar, agreeing with environmentalist R K Pachauri who also described the malls as "energy guzzlers".

The remarks were made while the minister and Pachauri were interacting with the audience at a conference on 'Green Design: Building and Habitat' organised by ministry of new and renewable energy and The Energy and Resources Institute ( TERI).
