New Delhi, August 28:

The Supertech twin towers in Noida are all set to be demolished today at 2.30 pm, putting an end to a 9-year-long battle.

The towers, Apex (32 storeys) and Ceyane (29 storeys), part of the Emerald Court, were found to be in violation of multiple regulations regarding construction following which a long legal battle was fought in the Allahabad High Court and then the Supreme Court of India which culminated in favour of the Residents Welfare Association.

The morning visuals from the spot of demolition showed the cranes arriving, while the police were seen announcing to vacate the area around the Supertech Twin Towers in Sector 93A.

A combined force of NGOs is working to rescue dogs at the last moment before the Supertech Twin Towers demolition today.

He said that the evacuation is taking place and the idea is that people can come back safely after whatever poisoning it causes in the next few hours once it is diluted in the air.

The Noida Police Commissionerate on Saturday issued an advisory on the eve of the demolition of the Supertech twin towers in the city, asking the media personnel to be stationed at the designated place for the media coverage, while also making sure to bring an ID card of the organisation.

“All the media personnel brothers are informed that the twin tower is to be demolished on August 28, 2022, following the earlier advisory by the Noida Traffic Police. All the media personnel will do parking and media coverage at the designated place. All the journalists will make sure to bring the ID card of their organization with them and for any help contact on the following number,” said the notice.

The exercise was earlier supposed to start on August 21 but the court accepted the Noida Authority’s request and extended its date of demolition to August 28.
