During his visit, CM Yogi Adityanath instructed to ensure public and environmental safety. Noida-Greater Noida Expressway to remain closed during demolition

Two days ahead of the demolition, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reviewed the preparations for the destruction of the Supertech Twin Towers in Noida, on Friday. Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner Arvind Kumar also issued detailed guidelines after the visit of the CM to the site. He also said that the preparations for the demolition are completed.

The demolition of the twin towers is scheduled to take place on 28 August. During his review visit, CM Yogi Adityanath asked the management to ensure that the process won't cause any harm to the nearby people. He also directed the officials to take care of the environmental challenges because of the demolition.

There have been arrangements made to manage the situation after the demolition. To clear the dust generated after the destruction, water tankers, sprinklers, and smog guns will be used.

Moreover, sweeping machines will clean the dust settled on the road after the completion of the demolition within two kilometre radius of the buildings.

People living near the building will be taken out of their residence at 7 am before demolition. Along with this, alternate parking arrangements and the protection of gardens will also be ensured.
