Mounting pressure on the 350 odd families residing at the water-front apartments at Maradu in Kochi that face Supreme Court’s demolition order, power supply to four apartments was disconnected during the wee hours of Thursday.
According to sources, steps to disconnect water supply would be also initiated on Thursday itself and forcible eviction steps would be initiated by Sunday.
The Kerala government’s swift actions came in the back drop of SC strictures for inordinate delay in executing the demolition order. The SC is scheduled to issue further order in this regard on Friday.
Of the five apartments that face demolition order, power connection to four were disconnected: Golden Kayaloram, H2O Holy Faith, Alfa Severe and Jain’s Coaral Cave. Holiday Heritage, the other apartment facing demolition order of CRZ norms violation, was not yet occupied by residents.
