KOCHI: In line with the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Maradu flat demolition, a team of technical experts from the Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority (KCZMA) conducted a thorough inspection of the site on Thursday. They assessed the condition of the areas where the demolished apartments were located, alongside adjacent regions.

The expert team comprised KCZMA personnel, district urban planning officials, and Maradu municipality engineers. Their objective was to evaluate potential violations of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ), examine the status of nearby water bodies, and review land restoration efforts.

Officials noted that the inspection was part of a follow-up report requested by the Supreme Court. The team plans to submit a comprehensive technical report to both the central and state governments, analyzing the effectiveness of post-demolition environmental restoration initiatives.

“The demolition of the Maradu flats is a regrettable chapter in our city’s history. It has left a blemish on the town’s reputation and hindered progress. Those responsible, including the former panchayat president K A Devassy, have faced no consequences, and the government should cease protecting them,” commented Antony Ashanparambil, chairperson of the Maradu municipality.
