Sunday saw the destruction of the Supertech twin towers (August 28). Supertech, the project's developer, has lost close to Rs 1,000 crore due to the Emerald Court project's demolition in Noida. The building's demolition cost close to 20 crore rupees. So why were the structures destroyed? Details:
The twin skyscrapers, Apex and Ceyane, are situated in Noida's Sector 93A. One of the structures is 103 meters high, and another is about 97 meters high. 3,700 kg of explosives were brought from Palwal (Haryana) to be utilized in the destruction. It was composed of plastic explosives, emulsions, and dynamite.
Five-Point Explanation
1: The Supreme Court ruled that the construction on the grounds of the Emerald Court society was improper and issued an order for its removal. Under the direction of the Noida Authority, the business will demolish the buildings at no cost to itself.
2:The building design for the "Supertech Emerald Court" housing society originally called for 14 towers with nine stories. The design was later changed, and the builder was given permission to add 40 stories to each tower. According to the original plans, the land where the towers were constructed was going to be turned into a garden.
3:After that, Supertech Emerald Court community residents complained to the Allahabad High Court in 2012, claiming the development was unlawful. In order to sell more apartments and increase their profit margins, the petitioners claimed that the Supertech group broke rules. As a result, the authority was ordered by the court in 2014 to demolish the towers within four months of the order's filing (at its own expense).
4:The Supreme Court then heard the case. The towers were supposed to be demolished by last August, but due to technical issues, it took a year. The Supreme Court found that the builder had colluded with the Noida authorities to violate building codes.
5: Homebuyers filed a number of petitions with the Supreme Court in support of and against the Allahabad High Court's decision.
