The Twin Tower Of Noida was demolished within 9 seconds
Noida’s Supertech Twin Towers, taller than the Qutub Minar, were demolished yesterday at 2:30 pm. This comes nine years after he was taken to court by a resident for violating the code. To destroy them he used 3,700 kg of explosives.
The demolition of the Supertech Twin Towers will be remembered as one of the most significant events in India’s history as it was the largest controlled explosion to bring down an illegal building in Noida, Uttar Pradesh as of known.
Chetan Dutta, an Edifice Engineering official who pushed the button to dismantle the massive tower containing more than 8,000 pounds of explosives, told reporters the demolition was “100% successful”.
Dutta added that after the demolition, the other man responsible for the explosion went to the scene with four police officers and began crying with relief and joy.
“The demolition was 100% successful,” he said. Approximately 9-10 seconds were required for the building to be destroyed. There were 10 of him in my team, 7 of him from foreign experts, 20 to 25 of him from Edifice Engineering,” Dutta told ANI.
Dutta said he and his team members did not try to communicate a word when the sirens warning of the demolition went off.
He said, “I looked up to see the twin structure that came down right after I pushed the button. When everything was levelled, my team and I didn’t wait for the clouds of dust and smoke to clear. . We rushed to the demolition site and checked out nearby housing associations Emerald Court and ATS Village,” he added.
Dutta said the demolition plan went according to predictions and plans and was “100% successful”. He added that a nearby skyscraper was not damaged, but Dutta said he suffered a small 3-4 meter crack from the demolition of the glued walls of ATS Village.
In an interview with ANI, Dutta told the news agency that “everything went according to plan”.
Officials at Edifice Engineering, which carried out the demolition of the illegal building ordered by the Supreme Court, said that when the demolition took place, he and his team were only 70 meters away from the Twin Towers, not 250. I explained to Datta that I hadn’t. Before others dictate.
The official said, as experts in the field, they were used to being very close during such demolitions.
As a result of the demolition, the area was covered in smoke and dust and turned into a pile of rubble. Smoke guns deployed by Noida authorities spray water droplets to purify the air. Images are shared online. Debris removal has also begun, and Noida Authority CEO Ritu Maheshwari said residents of Emerald Court and ATS Village will be allowed into their homes after 6:30 p.m., the day before the demolition. , nearly 5,000 residents were displaced.

The Start of Demolition
Noida-based developer Supterch Limited has begun construction on a project known as the Emerald Court. The project started in his mid-2000s. The project included the construction of 3, 4 and 5 BHK apartments.
The project was off the highway that connects Noida and the sister city of Greater Noida. According to the property website, the apartment is currently valued between 10 million rupees to 3000 rupees. According to plans by the New Okura Industrial Development Authority in Noida, the project was to have 14 nine-story towers.
Change of plan
The problems began after Supertech changed plans, which until 2012 was a 15-tower complex instead of 14. Each building should have 11 floors instead of 9. The revised plan called for two more towers rising 40 stories above ground. His two latter ones have been the focus of a decades-long legal battle between residents and super techs.
Cemented buildings replaced by green spaces
Supertech had promised to have “green” space in front of Tower One. This was included in the plan, first revised in June 2005, according to court filings dated December 2006.
The “green” expanse later became the ground on which Seyane and Apex (the twin towers at the heart of the debacle) soared.
In March 2012, his third construction plan was revised. Emerald Court is now a project of 15 11-storey towers, with Cyane and Apex increasing from its 24th floor to its 40th floor.
The litigation work begins
Residents of Emerald Court noted the illegal construction of the twin towers Seyane and Apex and demanded their demolition. Residents are calling on Noida authorities to revoke the permits granted to build Ceyane and Apex.
Residents then appealed to the Allahabad High Court, demanding that the court order the tower’s demolition. The Allahabad Supreme Court agreed with the claims of the Emerald Court residents. In April 2014, the Supreme Court ordered the demolition of the Noida Twin Towers.
However, Supertech appealed and the case went to the Supreme Court of India. Supreme Court makes the final decision
India’s Supreme Court has ordered the demolition of the Noida Twin Towers in 2021 because they were illegally built.
Supertech subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court to reconsider that order. Several Apex Court hearings followed, which also addressed concerns about the safety of Emerald Court residents.
The decision stipulated that the demolition date would be postponed regularly. However, the Supreme Court refused to change its position on this issue.
The Supreme Court said Noida authorities and Supertech were involved in a “disgraceful collusion” and ordered the company to demolish the building at its own expense under the direction of Noida authorities.
Dismantling
Noida Twin Towers will be demolished on August 28th. The work is being carried out by Mumbai-based Edifice Engineering. This has previously demolished his four illegal residences near Kochi, Kerala.
The company uses a technique called an implosion. Over 8,000 pounds (3,700 kg) of explosives will be placed in holes drilled into specific parts of the building structure supporting Ceyane and Apex. Detonation is done from bottom to top. In other words, the explosives placed on the ground floor will be detonated first. Then the one on the first floor and so on.
Here are five reasons why the Twin Towers are being demolished:
- Demolition was ordered by the Supreme Court after the court found construction at the Emerald Court Society site to be unconstitutional. The building is being demolished by the company at its own expense under the direction of the Noida authorities.
- When the Housing Association’s Supertech Emerald Court was first licensed, the plans called for 14 towers and 9 storeys. The plans were later amended and builders were allowed to build 40 floors in each tower. According to the original plans, the site where the tower was built was to be a garden.
- As a result, residents of the Supertech Emerald Court Society appeared before the Allahabad High Court in 2012, declaring the construction illegal. Petitioners alleged that Supertech Group broke the norm to sell more homes and increase profit margins. Therefore, in 2014, a court ordered the agency to demolish the tower (at its own expense) within four months from the date of the order.
- It was then taken to the Supreme Court. Last August, a court granted three months to demolish the tower, but technical problems took a year. The Supreme Court found that builders colluded with Noida authorities to violate building codes.
- Homebuyers have filed multiple petitions with the Supreme Court in favour of or against the Allahabad Supreme Court decision
