The stage is set for the demolition of the twin towers today. They will be razed to the ground with the explosion in seconds.
The twin towers namely Apex and Ceyane are located at Sector 93A in Noida. One of the buildings has an altitude of 103 metres, while another is around 97-metre tall.
For the demolition, about 3,700 kg of explosives, which have been brought from Palwal (Haryana), will be used. It is a mix of dynamite, emulsions and plastic explosives. The apex court also said Supertech and the Noida Authority engaged in a “nefarious complicity”.
It then ordered Supertech to demolish the buildings at its expense, under the guidance of the Noida Authority. In 2014, the court had directed the authority to demolish the buildings within 4 months at its own expense.
The Supreme Court’s decision comes after a number of petitions by homebuyers.
The buildings were to be demolished in May, which was later postponed to August 21. Recently, the Supreme Court also extended the deadline to August 28, with a band of 7 days till September 4 due to technical issues and weather conditions.
