Firms told to close down operations and vacate twin tower premises by Sunday
Amid controversies surrounding the construction of the twin towers of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), the Kerala Transport Development Finance Corporation (KTDFC) has served notices on tenants in the complex on Mavoor Road to close down operations and vacate the premises by Sunday.
The development comes close on the heels of the Transport Department constituting a five-member panel to study and provide suggestions on a report by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M) that stated that the terminal complex, constructed at a cost of ₹74.63 crore six years ago, had serious structural flaws and required immediate rectification.
The KTDFC, a non-banking financial company fully owned by the State Government, decided to issue eviction notices for carrying out repairs and rehabilitation of the complex. In a letter to the firm Tastic Lead Point that had taken a kiosk on lease at the terminal building, the KTDFC said that the IIT-M had advised maintaining the complex free of any type of loading, including bus operation and functioning of tenants.
