Residents Live In Fear As Ceilings Fall, Cracks Appear In Chennai Apartments

Over 300 families in a posh 17-storey apartment complex in Chennai are living in constant fear as parts of the buildings' roof have collapsed due to poor construction work. Residents of Jains Westminster in west Chennai say cracks began to develop in the pillars and beams a year after they moved into the complex in 2016. Soon after, portions of the concrete ceilings started falling down revealing corroded steel beams, they said.
