Kerala CM Says Faulty Mundamveli Flats May Need Demolition, Residents Demand Compensation
Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan announced that the Mundamveli apartment complex, built under the previous LDF government's LIFE Mission scheme, may require demolition due to faulty construction. Residents relocated from the waterlogging-prone P T Colony have long complained of leaks and structural issues. Repair costs reportedly exceed new construction expenses. The affected families demand new housing with title deeds, compensation, and accountability for alleged corruption. The government plans to relocate residents temporarily and hold a meeting to address the matter.
