3 balconies collapse at unsafe Chintels tower

Three balconies of the Tower D of Chintels Paradiso condominium in Sector 109 partially collapsed around 10pm on Thursday evening. Nobody was hurt in the incident as the tower was abandoned after it was declared unsafe for occupation in the aftermath of the February 2022 collapse. The balcony of the fifth floor first caved in, and subsequently the weight of the debris damaged the balconies on the third and fourth floors — in a stark reminder to the events of February last year when six floors collapsed partially in a similar domino like fashion, killing two residents. Officials in the department of town and country planning confirmed the incident and said that the Tower D is not currently occupied and has been vacant since February last year, when it was declared unsafe. JN Yadav, vice-president, Chintels India Ltd, alleged that barricades around the tower were removed by RWA and they had submitted a complaint to the police regarding the matter in July last year.
