Leaking P&T apartmentskeep students out ofschool; SHRC orders probe

Residents of the P&T Apartment Complex in Mundamveli, Kerala, are facing severe issues with leaking roofs caused by rainwater and toilet water seeping into their homes. This has led to significant disruptions in school attendance for approximately 65 children living in the complex. The Kerala State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has initiated an investigation into the matter following a petition by activist Thampy Subramanyam. The problem began two years ago and worsened in February 2024 when heavy rains caused the leaks to intensify. School authorities became aware of the issue when a student's prolonged absence prompted an inspection, revealing unsanitary living conditions. The P&T Apartment Owners Association has identified multiple students affected by the leaks, citing psychological distress among children unable to study or remain indoors during rainfall. The Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA), responsible for constructing the buildings, has proposed repair measures based on recommendations from IIT Madras, though the costs remain high.
