The residents of Jains Westminster apartment in Saligramam have been riddled with fear ever since a portion of the ceiling in their apartment complex collapsed last July. A few tenants have moved out of the apartment building on Arunachalam Road after the July 31 ceiling collapse incident.
Members of the Jains Westminster Owners Welfare Association said many of the flats and common areas have had developed serious cracks in the ensuing months. New cracks have been reported almost every day, the members rued.
“Besides this, many of the flats have been facing seepage issues which are likely to worsen the condition of the building. The reinforcing steel stands have been exposed in many places, and instances of concrete pieces peeling off the walls are being reported almost every week,” the members said.
