Kochi's Chander Kunj flats crumble, families left homeless

This Onam, while Kerala celebrates, families at Chander Kunj — the Army Welfare Housing Organisation’s dream project in Kochi that is slated for demolition — are forced to leave their crumbling homes. Cracks, leaks, and falling concrete have turned these towers into a safety hazard, shattering the dreams of veterans who once served the nation, who are now turning homeless. In this video, we tell the story of soldiers and their families, packing memories and heartbreak into boxes, as trust in AWHO collapses along with the buildings. Watch their struggle, hear their voices, and witness what happens when a promise of ‘forever homes’ turns into exile.
