Why the demolition has become the talk of the town

As per officials handling the razing project, the Supertech towers will become India's tallest structures to be safely demolished by implosion technique in pursuance of a Supreme Court order. The razing has led to excitement and a reported "fear of the unknown" among local residents of Sector 93A, many of whom have expressed concerns about the fallout of the demolition. The razing of the Apex and Ceyane towers is expected to leave behind a whopping 55,000 tonnes (35,000 cubic metres) of debris, making it one of the biggest generators of urban demolition waste in the area. As per the project planners, a바카라 웹사이트large part of the debris would be accommodated in the basement of the towers while the remaining would be moved out to an isolated location within Noida and processed scientifically. This means that바카라 웹사이트around 1,200 to 1,300 “truck-loads” of debris would have to be moved out from the site manually. Clouds of dust will also have to be바카라 웹사이트dissipated.
