Edifice Engineering was working continuously for several months to demolish the Twin Towers. The state administration had chosen August 28 as the day of demolishing the twin towers. Nearly Rs 17 crore has been spent in this entire operation, which will be paid by the builder.
The demolition of the twin towers was captured by people on their mobile phones. Sprinklers and smoke guns were used to reduce the effect of dust generated by the demolition of the building. Several dumpers had also been stationed near the demolished twin towers to carry away the debris of the demolished building.
No loss of property or life has been reported during the demolition exercise. However, the boundary wall measuring around 12 metre of the ATS tower built nearby the Supertech twin towers was badly damaged.
Dust has accumulated from the debris left behind by the demolished twin towers surrounding the Emerald Code and ATS tower.
