Quality issue: Contractor told to partly demolish flats
The New Indian Express
|October 28, 2025
A possible disaster may have been averted as a contractor of the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB), who is building 702 residential units at Andimaniyam Thottam, has torn down the constructed portions in all the four blocks after the board flagged quality issues.
The TNUHDB found that the prefabricated concrete technology used, being executed at a cost of ₹118 crore, was not as per quality standards. The board’s goal is to make TN a slum-free state by providing affordable housing to urban poor. While it is unclear how much money has been spent so far, sources said at least 20%-25% of the work had been completed before the anomalies were spotted.
