Noida Supertech Twin Towers Demolition- Health Challenges

Health challenges will increase after the collapse of Supertech tower, take these precautions


A cloud of dust will rise as soon as the twin towers of Supertech i.e. Apex and Cyan Towers are demolished. Due to this air pollution can increase up to five times. Due to this, people will have to face health problems for the next 7 to 90 days.

The court also slammed the Noida authority for colluding with the builder to pave the way for illegal construction of 40-storey towers in violation of municipal and fire safety norms. The Court held that the 2009 clearance plan approved by the Noida Authority was illegal as it violated the minimum distance norms and that the plan could not have been sanctioned even without the consent of the flat buyers.

This decision has come today on several petitions filed by home buyers in favor and against the High Court's 2014 decision. On 11 April 2014, the Allahabad High Court ordered the demolition of both the buildings and refund of the money to the flat buyers within four months. The Supreme Court had stayed the decision after the real estate firm went on appeal.

The Supreme Court on August 4 slammed the Noida authority for "staggering use of power" in approving two residential towers of real estate developer Supertech in a green area and then blocking the right to information regarding the building plan. It had reserved its decision on the petitions requested by the flat buyers.
