Residents of the P&T apartment towers in Mundamveli, Kochi, are preparing to launch an indefinite protest at the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) office in Kadavanthra starting Tuesday, May 26, 2026. The move follows years of unresolved issues, including persistent water leakage, structural cracks, and alleged safety violations, which residents say have worsened despite repeated pleas for intervention.
The protest was formally announced after the P&T Apartment Owners Association issued an ultimatum to the GCDA secretary on May 19, 2026, warning of direct action if no remedial steps were taken to address the leakage crisis. Residents had specifically cautioned that they would mobilize at the GCDA office gate following the next heavy rainfall. This warning came after heavy downpours on Sunday, May 24, 2026, which further exposed the severity of the leakage problem in the apartments built by the GCDA.
