NOIDA: The stage is about for the secure demolition of Supertech’s twin towers right here this afternoon in what is predicted to be a wide ranging spectacle of engineering to raze to the bottom the practically 100-metre-tall constructions borne out of corruption.

“Once last-minute checks are achieved and all groups get down from the buildings, the 2 buildings Apex and Ceyane, should be inter-connected.

After {that a} 100-metre-long cable can be run from the towers to the exploder to demolish the buildings,” Edifice Engineering’s project manager Mayur Mehta said on Saturday. “Once we get the clearance from the police division that the exclusion zone is 100 per cent clear, then at 2.30 pm on Sunday we’ll press the button,” he stated.
