Mumbai-based Edifice Engineering will take down the demolition of the Noida Supertech Twin Towers with the help of experts from South Africa-based Jet Demolition.
India Today spoke to Joe, a demolition expert from South Africa, who expressed confidence that the twin towers will be brought down safely.
