Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate their apartments for about 10 hours today near two skyscrapers in suburban New Delhi that were demolished in a controlled explosion after their construction was ruled illegal.
A heavy police force and rescue crews were deployed for the expected 9 to 15 second operation to demolish the two 103m tall buildings, which house 850 unoccupied flats.
Authorities have also diverted traffic around the Apex and Ceyane skyscrapers, which are on a busy highway connecting India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, with the capital.
The Supreme Court last year ordered the demolition of the two high-rises located in the Noida district after a long legal battle, finding them to be in violation of several building and fire safety norms.
More than 3,700 kilograms of explosives were used around 14:30 local time today (12:00 Greek time) to demolish the two residential complexes, officials told local news networks.
