The owner of the ill-fated Solai dam, which collapsed on May 9, killing 47 people and injuring hundreds of others, yesterday sought to absolve himself from blame over the tragedy and, instead, portrayed himself as a victim.
Mr Perry Mansukh, General Manager of Patel Coffee Estates, declared that the deaths of the 47 people had drained him emotionally and “saddened him tremendously.”
