Kerala to foot flyover bill, recover it from contractor

Kochi: The state government will bear the cost of repair of Palarivattom flyover initially but recoup the amount from contractor ‘RDS Ltd’ later through legal course, PWD minister G. Sudhakaran said.

The clarification comes amid concerns that the repair might be done with tax payers’ money. The three-year Defects Liab-ility Period (DLP) of the RDS is set to end on October 12.
