Kochi: The High Court has ordered the demolition of two towers in the flat complex built for soldiers in Vyttila. Towers B and C should be demolished and a new one should be built. The High Court has ordered the eviction of the residents and the demolition of the towers. The court order was issued on a petition filed by the residents stating that the flats are unsafe.
The apartment has three towers. The flats were built in 2018 for military officers and retired military officers. Observing that it is not safe for residents to continue living in the two towers of the dilapidated flat, the court directed the Army Welfare Housing Organization to demolish the two towers and build a new one.
The court also directed the formation of a committee headed by the District Collector to demolish the flats and build a new one. The court has also ordered that the residents of the flats be paid monthly rent until the demolition work is completed.
