Taipei, Feb. 17 (CNA) The Taiwan High Court's Kaohsiung Branch Court on Wednesday ruled against Kaohsiung's Public Works Bureau (PWB), awarding more than NT$4 million in state compensation to the family of a Chinese man who was electrocuted and killed by a faulty street light in Kaohsiung.
A developer yesterday apologized and promised to cover rental costs for affected people after a construction site overseen by the firm in Kaohsiung caused the surrounding roads to partly collapse, risking the safety of seven buildings.
The collapse on Sunday was the second such incident in less than six months at the site managed by Tungchin Yusuo (東金御所) on Cianjin District’s (前金) Zihciang First Road, after a water pressure imbalance in March caused the surrounding roads to sink.
The company at the time said it had repaired the damage, but on Sunday afternoon the surrounding roads collapsed further.
