Contractors should be held responsible for ‘decrepit’ P&T apartments: Kerala High Court
Kerala's High Court ruled that contractors must be held accountable for the deteriorated P&T apartments. Justice Devan Ramachandran questioned why public funds should finance repairs. The District Collector cited an IIT Madras study stating the buildings are not unsafe but require urgent rectification. An amicus curiae highlighted leakage, septic tank overflow, corrosion, and insufficient clearance from a 110‑kV line.
