TVN24: malfunction of landing gear indicator.

What do you think about this situation? Is there any reason for concern?

Cause for concern

By all accounts just an indication problem with landing gear down and locked indication. Followed full emergency procedures, problem? What problem?

Centralings, part of the Polish LOT group and one of the rapidly progressive band of lowcost carriers. Maintenance I believe conducted by LOT.

News reports say that the aircraft landed safely. Was it really necessary to go ahead with a full evacuation if none of the L/G had actually collapsed?

Just for fun.......why did they evacuate if no landing gear collapsed?

Read above, after the landing, the cabin filled with smoke, hence the evacuation
