FollowNoida's illegal Supertech twin towers, which are said to be taller than the Qutub Minar, are set to be demolished on Sunday, August 28, more than nine years after residents first filed a lawsuit against them. It will take approximately nine seconds to demolish them with 3,700 kg of explosives and nearly 20,000 connections to its pillars, resulting in "one-tenth of a Magnitude-4 earthquake."
Amid all the excitement surrounding the development, NCR residents should be aware that there will be some traffic disruption, and the police have issued a warning about it. Roads leading to the Noida twin towers will remain closed on Sunday, while 600 police officers, including traffic officers, will be deployed for law and order duties. The twin towers will be demolished at 2.30 pm on August 28 following a Supreme Court order that determined the structures were built in violation of norms.
Police have issued an advisory, and Google Maps will be updated with real-time traffic information. Green corridors will be built to help emergency vehicles move around. "While several routes, particularly those leading to the twin towers, will be diverted from morning to evening, the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will remain closed between 2 pm and 3 pm," DCP (Traffic) Ganesh Saha and DCP (Central Noida) Rajesh S briefed the reporters.
He continued, "Around 400 police officers will be on duty, and 150 to 200 additional traffic officials will be working throughout the day. We are attempting to keep the expressway closed for a short time, despite traffic volume already being very low on Sunday afternoon. However, the detours and traffic arrangements have been designed so that there will be no bottlenecks," Saha said. "Also, moving any vehicles inside the two societies that have to be evacuated will be prohibited very early in the morning itself, while he added that we will allow vehicles to move out of there until 7 am," he added.Â
DCP Rajesh S stated that approximately 5,000 residents of Emerald Court and ATS Village, two nearby communities, will be evacuated by 7 am on Sunday. During the day, he said nearly 3,000 vehicles would be removed from the societies, and people would be allowed to return only after security clearance around 4 pm. Additionally, a police help station will be set up in both societies to streamline the evacuation procedure.
