NEW DELHI: A month before the August 28 deadline for demolition of illegally constructed twin towers of Supertech in Noida, the Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee, on Friday conveyed to the Supreme Court its inability to study the feasibility of the demolition plan because of suppression of vital information relating to structural issues.
CBRI chief scientist D P Kanungo informed a bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and J B Pardiwala that neither IRP of Supertech nor Edifice, the chosen agency for carrying out the demolition work, has provided it with vital information relating to blast design, ground vibration estimate and mechanism to monitor it, assessment of post-demolition debris, dust cloud that would emanate and its impact on surrounding buildings as well as the nearby bird sanctuary, test blast inputs and structural audit of surrounding buildings.
