In a significant development concerning urban safety and residential welfare, the Chintels Paradiso Society located in Sector-109, Gurugram, is set to witness the demolition of five of its towers deemed unsafe. The towers D, E, F, G, and H have been scheduled for demolition by the end of this month, marking a crucial step in addressing structural safety concerns. A company has been selected to undertake this demolition task, following a declaration of these towers as unsafe by IIT Delhi.
Key Developments:
- Unsafe Towers: IIT Delhi has declared Towers D, E, F, G, and H of the Chintels Paradiso Society as unsafe. This decision prompts immediate action to prevent potential hazards.
- Demolition Plans: The process to demolish these towers will commence by the end of the current month, with a specific company already chosen for this purpose.
- Resident Claims Settled: Out of the approximately 140 flats across these five towers, claims of 140 flat owners have already been settled. A committee meeting has been called today to address the remaining claims.
- Technical Supervision Requested: The builder’s management has written to the Deputy Commissioner requesting the formation of a committee of technical branch officers to oversee the demolition process, ensuring it is conducted safely and efficiently.
