Indian Supreme Court has extended the deadline to demolish Supertech’s twin towers. The apex court has extended the deadline to 28 August.
The top court on Tuesday granted extension on the demolition of twin towers at Supertech Emerald Court in Noida's Sector 93 area till August 28.
The decision came after the demolition agency Edifice Engineering urged the SC to extend the deadline from May 22 by three months.
The demolition agency in the court said that the test blast results have shown that the strength of the building was higher than what was anticipated by the company.
Earlier, NOIDA authority Monday informed the Supreme Court that the work for the demolition of realty major Supertech's twin 40-storey towers in its Emerald Court project, which have been held as illegal for a violation of norms, has commenced and will be razed completely by May 22.
