The Supertech twin towers in Noida, which are taller than Qutub Minar, will collapse to the ground at 2:30 pm today, nine years after residents alleged violation of norms. 3,700 kg of explosives will be used to destroy them
Here are five-point explanations on why the Twin Towers are being demolished:

The demolition was ordered by the Supreme Court after the court found their construction in the Emerald Court Society premises violating norms. The company will demolish the buildings at its own cost under the guidance of the Noida Authority.
-
when ‘Supertech Emerald Court‘ As the housing society was originally approved, the building plan showed 14 towers and nine floors. Later, the plan was revised and the builder was allowed to build 40 floors in each tower. The area where the towers were built was to be a garden as per the original plan.
-
Following this, residents of Supertech Emerald Court Society approached the Allahabad High Court in 2012 calling the construction illegal. The petitioners argued that Supertech Group violated norms to sell more flats and increase its profit margin. Accordingly, in 2014, the court directed the authority to demolish the towers (at its own expense) within four months from the date of filing the order.
-
the matter went away Supreme court, Last August, the court had given three months to demolish the towers, but due to technical difficulties, it took a year. The Supreme Court found that the building norms were violated by the builder in connivance with the Noida authorities.

Several petitions were presented in the Supreme Court by homebuyers in support and opposition to the Allahabad High Court’s decision.
