The Supertech twin towers in Noida, which are taller than the Qutub Minar, will be razed to the ground at 2:30 pm today, nine years after residents went to court alleging violation of norms. 3,700 kilograms of explosives would be used to destroy them
The Supertech Twin Towers in Noida were demolished today in a massive explosion. Over 3,700 kg of explosives were used to bring the two towers down, resulting in a sea of smoke and debri engulfing the area.
As the nearly 100-metre-tall Supertech twin towers were razed to the ground on Sunday, doctors said people living nearby, especially those suffering from respiratory diseases, should take extra care and avoid the area for a few days if possible.
These twin towers were located at the ‘Supertech Emerald Court’ housing society Sector 93A in Noida. For the demolition, around 3,700 kg of explosives - a mix of dynamite, emulsions and plastic explosives - was used.
