Hello
The case related to the building of flats in violation of coastal laws is still pending before the Supreme Court.
The development came following an affidavit filed in the court by Kerala government stating that the State is not liable to pay compensation to the owners of flats demolished for violating Coastal Regulation Zone rules.
The September 23 directives were in continuance of the May 8, 2019 demolition order of apartments in Kochi's Maradu.
A portion of the Alfa Serene building was deliberately pushed into the backwaters to save a few houses close to the building during the demolition.
Some invisible remnants, such as concrete piles and the pile caps of the buildings, still remain underground waiting for nature to destroy them.
Here we take a brief look into how the buildings came up on environmentally sensitive zone before they came under legal scrutiny and finally being razed to comply with the orders of the apex court of the country.
Justice Mishra was in news recently as he ordered the demolition of four apartment complexes in Kerala's Maradu muncipality for violating coastal regulation zone rules.
The Rubble Master can crush 80 to 350 tonnes of concrete in an hour.
The Kerala government has entrusted the National Centre for Earth Science Studies, Thiruvananthapuram, with the task of preparing the map.
Prompt Enterprises, which had bought the debris, have begun to make bricks out these on a trial basis.
