Golden Kayaloram, last of four luxury complexes in Maradu demolished in seconds

KOCHI: Golden Kayaloram, the last of the four luxury complexes ordered to be demolished by the apex court for CRZ violations, was razed down at 2.30 pm. The siren sounded late than expected. The first siren was heard at 2 pm and the second one at 2.20 pm. The Anganwadi near the Golden Kayaloram is safe. Reports that come in say that the compound walls of the Anganwadi have been damaged.

A huge crowd gathered on the banks of the National Waterway and beneath the Thykkoodam bridge to watch the demolition of Golden Kayaloram. This was the first flat complex built 20 years ago when Maradu was a panchayat. Other buildings came after that. Golden Kayaloram is the smallest of the four apartment complexes.
