Kochi Corporation to recommend Vigilance probe into G Memorial, P&T complex construction
Alleged construction lapses blamed for poor condition of two facilities; UDF councillors raise corruption allegations over G Memorial
The Kochi Corporation plans to recommend a Vigilance probe into the construction of the G Memorial and P&T Apartment Complex, citing alleged lapses and the current squalid state of the structures. Mayor V.K. Minimol announced this during a council meeting, where ruling United Democratic Front councillors criticized the construction for corruption.
The memorial, costing nearly ₹6 crore, was inaugurated in February 2024, but has received criticism over its quality, with some claiming it to be a symbol of corruption. The Public Works department has denied that construction activity caused the memorial to tilt, with the consultancy suggesting increased vehicular movement during construction as the cause.
The sanitation committee is tasked with ensuring waste segregation and addressing the issue of improper waste disposal at the CBG plant in Brahmapuram.
