GANGTOK, 23 June: Arguably the best in the region [as far as academics is concerned], CCCT, the polytechnic college at Chisopani in South Sikkim is a casualty waiting to happen. The 19 acre campus housing 8 blocks to reside 235 students and 56 staff members has developed severe cracks, is held up by compromised columns and has peeling concrete in all buildings.
Precariously standing on cracked supporting posts, the buildings here are in a sad state of disrepair with no alternative at hand for the administration which was handed over the complex in 2006 by the Human Resource and Development Department. For a construction which is barely five years old, the scale at which it is crumbling away is shocking.
