Supertech Apex and Ceyane Twin Towers set for Sunday Blast

Описание: Relief for Emerald Court Residents, Twin towers to be demolished within 2 months
It was a huge relief for the residents of Emerald Court in Noida Sector 93A. In a big blow to the realty company, Supertech Limited, the Supreme Court on August 31 directed demolition of twin 40-storey towers. From this video anyone could guess the blatant way the realty firm flouted norms by launching the two 40-story towers in the premises of the Emerald Court. The names of these twin towers are Apex and Ceyane. These two towers are proposed to have together 915 apartments and 21 shops. Of these, 633 flats were booked initially. The builder had said that out of 633 people booking the flats initially, 133 have moved out to other projects, 248 have taken refunds and 252 home buyers still had their bookings with the company in the project.
SC said the complicity of authority officials is revealed from the sanctioning of second revised plan of the project on November 26, 2009. It was a clear breach of building regulations. Authority also refused to disclose the plan to the Resident Welfare Association. In fact, authority wrote to Supertech seeking permission to share the sanctioned plan with RWA. Upon refusal by the builder, the corrupt officials declined to share the plan.
