New Delhi: The demolition of the illegally built Twin Towers by Supertech Builder has begun. The demolition proceeding will include several hi-tech machines, along with a team of 100 people including engineers.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had directed the authorities to begin the demolition within a fortnight of real estate developer Supertech’s twin 40-storey towers in its Emerald Court project in Noida.
A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Surya Kant had said, “The CEO Noida shall take all necessary steps for observing directions of this court, work of demolition shall commence no later than two weeks from this order”.
After the demolition of the tower, the work of removing the debris will be done by August 22. Both the towers will be demolished at a cost of about 17.55 crores. Debris worth Rs 13.35 crore will come out from the 40-floor tower.
How the authorities will demolish the majestic construction:
The twin tower built in Noida Sector 93A has been in discussion for a long time. Supertech has given tender of demolition of Twin Towers to a Mumbai-based company Edifice.
The company has been paid in advance. The tower will be demolished within 10 seconds. The twin towers will be brought down through an explosion.
Causes behind the demolition:
The top court had ordered the demolition of the towers constructed over grave violations of building norms, and had called it a “result of nefarious complicity between Noida Authority and Supertech”.
The SC further ordered that, “The company shall carry out the demolition at its own expense within three months under the supervision of the Noida Authority and an expert body like the Central Building Research Institute”.
The verdict had come on a batch of petitions filed by homebuyers for and against the April 11, 2014 verdict of the Allahabad High Court, which had ordered the demolition of the two buildings within four months and the refund of money to apartment buyers.
