Noida\'s twin towers of corruption razed in under 12 seconds
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: Nearly nine years after the aggrieved residents challenged the illegal construction of Supertech twin towers in court, the 100-metre high building that once stood taller than Delhi's iconic Qutub Minar was reduced to dust in under 12 seconds on Sunday. The hype around the twin towers' demolition ensured that a large number of people from Noida and beyond gathered around the "ground zero" before 2:30 pm, the time fixed for the demolition to be carried out, and watched it implode from various vantage points. Teams of Edifice, Central Building Research Institute, Jet Demolitions are making a physical inspection of the site to see if any leftover explosives are there," Noida Authority CEO Ritu Maheshwari said. Officials said the demolition of nearly 100-metre-tall structures conducted by the "waterfall implosion" technique has left an estimated 35,000 cubic metres or 55,000 tonnes to 80,000 tonnes of debris, including concrete rubble, steel and iron bars, that would take three months to be disposed of. In its order for the demolition of the twin towers, the Supreme Court had pointed to the "collusion" between the builders and Noida Authority officials who allowed Supertech Ltd to carry out construction in an area where no buildings were allowed according to the original plans.
