Board to look into complaints, blames it on ‘wear and tear’
People allotted houses at the newly built flats of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board (TNSCB) at Kesava Pillai (K.P) Park in Pulianthope have complained of poor quality of construction. While the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Makkal Needhi Maiam demanded an inquiry into the construction, DMK MLA I. Paranthamen visited the site on Tuesday. A. Pasupathy, one of the allottees, said, “The quality is so poor that the plaster is coming off even if we scratch with our fingers.” The allottees were staying at the same site in the flats constructed many years ago by TNSCB. As those buildings became dilapidated, TNSCB evacuated the residents in 2018 to temporary shelters to raze the buildings and construct new ones.More Related News
