Frustrated by the continuous leakage of their apartments since moving in two years ago, residents of the P&T Apartment Towers at Mundamveli in Kochi have issued an ultimatum threatening to lay siege to the office of the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA), which commissioned the project.The P&T Apartment Owners Association issued the ultimatum to the GCDA Secretary on Tuesday (May 19, 2026). Residents have been protesting against the persistent leakage since 78 families moved in in January 2024. They have also raised concerns about cracks and an alleged tilt in the buildings, issues that have largely gone unaddressed.
