Kochi: The Palarivattom flyover requires not just repair, but the entire structure has to be reinstated as there are serious errors even in the design and structure, according to PWD Minister G. Sudhakaran.
The government has ordered a probe by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau into the issue, and based on its report, action will be taken against the officials responsible for the lapses in construction, Mr Sudhakaran told reporters after visiting the flyover on Saturday. A report has been sought from the KITCO in this regard, he added. Responding to queries, he said that the failure of flyover is not a political issue, but an administrative and technical problem. The report submitted by the IIT Chennai team points to serious flaws during construction, he said.
