Gurugram Orders Realtor To Raze Tower Whose Balconies Collapsed This Month

Towers D, E, F, G, and H of the society located in Sector 109 were declared unsafe for habitation in a structural audit by IIT-Delhi after the February 2022 collapse.

The Gurugram district administration has directed the developer of Chintels Paradiso to barricade Tower D, which was declared unsafe by an IIT-Delhi audit, and begin the demolition process, an official said on Saturday.

The development comes after four balconies of Tower D collapsed on November 9. No death was reported in the incident as the tower was vacant and its surroundings cordoned off after a partial collapse of six floors claimed two lives in February 2022.

The administration has also asked the developer to speed up the settlement process and evacuate the flats where residents are still living, Additional Deputy Commissioner Hitesh Meena said.
