The Noida authority on Tuesday sealed two under-construction 40-storey towers

The Noida authority on Tuesday sealed two under-construction 40-storey towers — Apex and Ceyane — in Sector 93A along Noida Expressway which was being built by the Supertech Group.

The action comes four days after an Allahabad High Court order that directed the demolition of the twin towers, which were allegedly being built in violation of the Building Regulations and UP Apartment Act, 2010 norms.

A team of the Noida authority, escorted by police officers, reached the site around 3pm on Tuesday, and shut down the realtor’s sales office and sealed the construction site.

The twin towers that has 857 housing units are likely to face demolition only if the Noida authority, the realtor and around 627 aggrieved home buyers fail to get any relief from the Supreme Court, where they are likely to file a plea against the high court order.For more Photo Today and Video Today
