(PTI) Kochi, Ta. January 11, 2020, Saturday

Two of the four magnificent buildings that were illegally erected in the Mardu municipality of Kerala were demolished by explosives following the Supreme Court's order. Both structures were filled with explosives to demolish the buildings.

The two towers of the apartment of Holy Faith Htuo and Alpha Sereny were demolished around eleven in the morning using a controlled implosion method. Two other buildings, Jain Coral Cove and the Golden Kalyorum, will also be demolished tomorrow, according to the apex court's order. Explosives were filled to break steel frames in pillars of various floors of both buildings.

In both places, the two-story building was assembled like a palace of cards and clay and dust were flying all around. After only a few minutes of dusting, only debris and clay bricks were visible in the building.

The 60-foot-high 19-storey Holy Faith Hutu was collected at hundreds by 11:18 am. Thousands of people watched the scene while standing outside the Demolition Area. The building looked rather steel, concrete and dust.

Describing the demolition of buildings as satisfactory, authorities said the entire exercise was safely carried out. No one was hurt. No animals or humans were injured and no one was injured in the building.
