Cracked panel replaced, Kanniyakumari glass bridge safe: Minister
CHENNAI: State Highways Minister E V Velu on Wednesday said the glass bridge linking Vivekananda Rock and the Tiruvalluvar statue in Kanniyakumari is completely safe, and the cracks reported earlier have been fixed.
Addressing reporters at the secretariat, Velu explained that during maintenance on August 16, a hammer accidentally fell from a height of eight metres while bolts were being tightened, causing a crack on the top layer of the glass floor. To ensure visitor safety, the damaged section was immediately closed.
