Onlookers cheered and smiled as the two 100-metre towers crumbled to the ground, leaving a cloud of dust and debris in their wake. The Supertech Twin Towers in Noida, India were demolished on August 28 after a nine-year legal battle. Residents counted it as a win against corruption in India’s development sector but are now waiting for the dust to settle – literally – according to our Observer who lives nearby.
The “Twin Towers” were constructed by real estate development company Supertech in 2009 in Noida, outside of the Indian capital Delhi, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
