The Story in Brief
Kerala Transport Minister C.P. John has announced an expert committee to examine structural defects at the KSRTC bus terminal on Mavoor Road in Kozhikode. The decision follows an inspection on Friday (August 14) after parts of the waiting area roof collapsed and a first-floor leakage was reported.
The building is owned by Kerala Transport Development Finance Corporation (KTDFC), with a related case pending before the Kerala High Court. The minister said renovation will proceed only after the committee submits its report. Transport management committees are functional at all KSRTC depots, he added.
The Indian Opinion
The usual blame game between KSRTC and KTDFC over who foots the repair bill will be tested when the expert committee's report comes out. The real question is not just who pays, but whether the state government will treat bus terminals as essential public infrastructure deserving speedy action, or let court cases drag repairs forever. Watch for the committee's timeline, will it report before the monsoon season next year?
