Officials were careful to put up a face of confidence. Sub-collector Snehil Kumar, in charge of the demolition, told TV channels that everything will be done as planned.
The controlled explosion has been envisaged in such a way to prevent the debris from falling on to the houses, implying that the rubble is most likely to end up in the adjacent backwaters.
Explosion on various floors would be carried out within a gap of milliseconds. The whole building would be razed to the ground within 45 seconds.
Buildings named Alfa Serene, Golden Kayaloram, Jain Coral Cove and Holyfaith H20 would be razed to the ground through a controlled explosion on January 11 and 12.
The 200m radius around the apartment complexes will be declared exclusion zones on January 11 and 12, the dates scheduled for razing the buildings.
Municipal chairperson T H Nadeera told Onmanorama on Monday that Snehil Kumar has not been passing on information regarding the demolition of the flat complexes right from the start of the process.
One of the two private companies entrusted with the controlled demolition has submitted a corrected version of the application it had earlier submitted to the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) to overcome a procedural glitch.
People from neighbouring areas held a march from the Nettoor Melpalam Junction to Nettoor SN-Dhanya Junction before assembling at the protest venue, which is near to the Alpha Serene building, one of the four residential towers to be demolished.
Once the final approval is given by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), explosives would be inserted into the flats.
According to Dr Anil Joseph, member of the expert technical committee overseeing the process, the buildings would collapse at an angle of 37 degrees.
