Have Seen Such Scenes Only On TV: Children Who Stay Near Noida Twin Towers

Over 5,000 residents of Emerald Court and ATS Village - the two closest societies to the twin towers - will be evacuated by 7 am on Sunday.
Sitting on the boundary wall of a park opposite the Supertech's twin towers that will be demolished on Sunday afternoon, 14-year-old Mohammad Zulfiqar is animatedly explaining to his friends how the buildings will collapse like a pack of cards.
"We will come early on Sunday to avoid the crowd and get this best spot. It's a great view from here," Irfan (10) chimes in as they look at the 100-metre-high grey structures from a distance.
Unmindful of the complexities of the world of the grown-ups, Ali, Irfan and many other children living in shanties in a nearby village Gejha flanking the twin towers are anticipating a visual spectacle on Sunday.
Others like 16-year-old Sabina Khanam, whose mother works in a flat in Supertech Emerald Court, located adjacent to the twin towers, feel it is ironic that the buildings are being demolished when many do not have a roof on their heads.
