Against the backdrop of the recent collapse of a commercial building in the city, a group of alumni from the Government Engineering College (GEC), Thrissur, has come forward with a fact-finding report to counter what it termed as “misleading and damaging” information that wrongly implicated the college’s structural engineering experts.

Several reports had suggested that the collapsed building had received a structural safety certificate from the GEC’s Civil Engineering department, but documents and inspection records reviewed by the alumni reveal this claim as incorrect.
