THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state government has put up a spirited defence of the upcoming Vyttila flyover in Kochi in the wake of reports that there were lapses in its construction. Following complaints, a high-level meeting, chaired by Public Works Minister G Sudhakaran, has decided to go for a ‘core test’ by Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) to further ascertain the strength of the flyover.
The minister said the government was not shying away from conducting further tests on the ongoing flyover project. Even though three entities — Public Works Department (PWD) NH wing, PWD Quality Control wing and Mar Athanasius College — assessed the construction, the government was committed to checking the strength of the flyover once again, he said.
