Summary:

Noida, Oct 5 (PTI) The Noida Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) has filed a complaint with the Uttar Pradesh vigilance department for lodging an FIR against the people involved in the illegal construction of Supertech"s twin-tower here, officials said on Tuesday.

Altogether 26 officials of NOIDA, four directors of real estate developer Supertech Group and two architects have been named as accused in the complaint, the officials said.

NOIDA CEO Ritu Maheshwari confirmed the development and said the authority will be going ahead with demolition planning of the twin towers that have come up in Sector 93A of the city in violation of building norms.

The Supreme Court, which had ordered the demolition of the under-construction 40-storey towers on August 31, on Monday quashed a “modification application” filed by Supertech Group.

While delivering its August 31 verdict, the apex court had set a three-month timeline for NOIDA to raze down the towers.

“Yes, the authority shall try to plan and have (the order) implemented as per SC directions,” Maheshwari told PTI.
