New Delhi: The Supreme Court-appointed technical expert on Thursday gave its nod for rigging of Supertech's twin towers in Noida with explosives. August 28 has been proposed as the date of demolition. The apex court had ordered the demolition of the nearly 100-metre-tall structures last year.
The twin structures, which were so far scheduled for demolition at 2:30 pm on August 21, have now been proposed to be demolished on August 28, a senior Noida Authority official told PTI.
The proposal has been made in view of the reports of all stakeholders, including the Noida Authority, CBRI, developer Supertech, demolition firm Edifice Engineering and its South African partner Jet Demolition, on safety measures for the job.
It must be stated here that Central Building Research Institute’s (CBRI) approval was the final one required for the charging -- rigging of explosives inside the structures -- of the twin towers located in Sector 93B in Noida.
