Noida Supertech Twin Towers Demolition Updates: Residents of nearby societies allowed to return home

Apex, the taller of the two towers at 103 metres, will be the tallest building in India to be brought down.

The evacuation of around 5,000 resident of the two housing societies near the soon-to-be-demolished twin towers of Supretech here has been completed, officials said Sunday morning. "The evacuation of residents of Emerald Court and ATS Village societies was scheduled to be completed by 7 am but took a little longer," police officials said.

On August 31, 2021, a Supreme Court bench of justices DY Chandrachud and MR Shah upheld a 2014 ruling of the Al - lahabad high court to demolish the Supertech twin towers in the Emerald Court compound in Sector 93A of Noida. The judgment set in motion the long and daunting process that will see the towers being imploded on Sunday, just three days short of a year since the top court pronounced its verdict. We revisit the ruling and its impact not just on real estate but also on governance.
