Dramatic scenes unfolded in Kerala's Kochi this morning as the two of the four apartment complexes to be demolished came crashing down in seconds in a highly controlled process. Over 350 flats in the coastal city - that housed 240 families - will be razed to the ground from today as the Kerala government is conducts one of the largest demolition drives in India involving residential complexes. The unprecedented exercise comes four months after the Supreme Court ordered the demolition of four residential buildings in a posh lakeside location in the city over violation of coastal regulation norms.
