The Hindu
More time sought for recommendations for further action
The five-member committee assigned to review the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) report on the structural flaws in the construction of the KSRTC bus terminal-cum-shopping complex here has sought more time to submit a final report, including recommendations for further action.
It submitted an interim report explaining the technical issues involved in the construction of the complex. It also sought clarification on the report submitted by P. Alagusundaramoorthy, Professor, Structural Engineering, IIT-M. The report said that the pillars of the multi-storey twin tower complex were structurally weak and required immediate strengthening. A conclusive report could be submitted only after that, sources said.
The terminal on Mavoor Road was constructed six years ago at a cost of ₹74.63 crore. The structure constructed by the Kerala Transport Development Finance Corporation (KTDFC) was inaugurated on June 1, 2015. The first tower has 10 floors, while the second has 11 floors, including parking space.
