IIT report highlighting serious flaws in the structure was concealed, alleges Opposition Leader
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has alleged that the construction of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) terminal complex is the biggest daylight robbery in history of the State.
Inaugurating a protest organised by the District Congress Committee (DCC) in front of the twin tower complex on Mavoor Road here on Saturday, he alleged that the decision to lease out the commercial space to ALIF Builders was a clear scam. The mediators of the deal had links with the CPI(M), Mr. Satheesan charged.
He demanded that the State government order a judicial inquiry into the construction of the building and a vigilance inquiry into irregularities in the contract.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
