Illegally constructed 32-storey tower blocks demolished in Delhi - Guardian News



Two illegally constructed high-rise buildings near the Indian capital were demolished on Sunday, using more than 3,500kg of explosives.
The demolition of the 32-storey twin towers in Noida came after the Supreme Court ruled that the buildings were built in violation of building rules.

The booming real estate sector in the National Capital Region – which also includes districts surrounding India's capital New Delhi – is notorious for builders flouting construction regulations, often in collusion with officials.
