Palarivattom flyover: High Court asks govt to conduct load test within three months

KOCHI: In a setback to the state government, the Kerala High Court on Thursday asked the government to submit a load test report of the Palarivattom flyover before its demolition. The court made the order while considering the petitions filed against the demolition of the flyover.

According to the court, a load test must be conducted to prove whether the flyover is facing strength issues or not. It also directed the RDS company to look after the expenses of the test.

Earlier, the government informed the court that an expert panel, which examined the flyover, had suggested its demolition.
