The Kozhikode City Corporation has ordered a comprehensive structural safety audit of all corporation-owned buildings in Kozhikode, Kerala, following the collapse of part of a decades-old municipal structure in the Valiyangadi market area that killed four head-load workers and injured a fifth. The directive was issued by Mayor O Sadasivan, who also sought a detailed report into the circumstances leading to the tragic accident. The incident has triggered protests by traders and political parties over alleged neglect of ageing civic infrastructure. Shop owners were instructed to vacate the dilapidated building, and officials said technical inspections had confirmed its unsafe condition. The move aims to avert similar disasters by identifying and remedying structural vulnerabilities across the city's portfolio of older public properties.Read more
