There may be light at the end of the tunnel for
those who owned flats in the eleven-storey building at Moulivakkam, near Porur
- Chennai which crashed on June 28, 2014 killing about 60 persons and injuring
about 25.
The report of the
one-man commission of inquiry, which the government constituted on July 3, 2014
is said to have discussed the plight of the owners who faced heavy financial
losses.
The affected people
include the owners of the flats in the crashed building as well as those in an
adjoining building, which is under seal. Besides, the report focuses on nearby
buildings that were damaged in the impact, says an official source.
On Monday, the former
judge of the Madras High Court, R. Reghupathi, constituting the commission,
submitted his report to Chief Minister Jayalalithaa at the Secretariat.
Though the commission’s
terms of reference did not have anything to do with the flat owners, the issue
was included in the report on “humanitarian grounds,” the source explains.
The report and the
annexure, running into 930 pages, contain submissions made by technical experts
and a special investigation team headed by a Joint Commissioner of Police.
The source says 8
persons arrested in connection with the incident were also given an opportunity
to respond to the materials gathered by the commission. Their response also
forms part of the report.
