Gurugram, Jan. 6 -- The Gurugram district administration and the department of town and country planning have granted permission to the NBCC (India) Limited to demolish the remaining four towers and surrounding structures at the NBCC Green View condominium in Sector 37D after they were declared unsafe and uninhabitable, officials said. This follows the demolition of three towers in 2024, for which approval was granted earlier, as those structures were also deemed unsafe for habitation. No timeline has been fixed for the commencement or completion of the demolition. The NBCC Green View project in Sector 37D was launched in 2010, with possession handed over in 2017. The condominium comprises 784 apartments across seven towers, apart from 139 economically weaker section (EWS) flats. On February 17, 2022, the Gurugram district administration invoked the National Disaster Management Act, 2005, declaring the entire condominium unsafe. Residents were directed to vacate within 15 days, setting March 3 as the deadline. The decision was based on a structural audit by IIT Bombay in 2021 that found the buildings unsafe. According to a letter written by Ajay Kumar, deputy commissioner, Gurugram, on January 5, permission was granted after detailed deliberations. "After detailed deliberation, it was observed that it would be an injustice to further delay the demolition process of the towers, as they are already in a dilapidated state, and the delay in demolition of the same impacts the interest of the majority of allottees; hence, permission for demolition of the aforesaid towers is granted, subject to compliance with the policy/guidelines of the concerned departments," the letter stated. The letter added that demolition of Towers A, B, C, and D, along with surrounding structures and services, was discussed in detail with all stakeholders during a December 15 meeting. Amit Madholia, district town planner, enforcement, said the district administration has accorded permission for demolition of the remaining four towers. "Earlier permission for demolition of three towers was accorded. The demolition must be carried out following all safety and preventive measures," he said. As per a letter written by NBCC on August 4 last year, Towers A, B, C, and D and other structures need demolition due to deteriorating condition. The company said early demolition would facilitate reconstruction and provide relief to owners who opted for reconstruction. NBCC also informed authorities that the licence for development of the group housing colony has been renewed up to May 20, 2027, by the Director, Town and Country Planning, Haryana, Chandigarh. The process of settling compensation with existing owners is ongoing, with several claims already settled. "In the light of the above facts, circumstances and day-by-day deterioration of the balance buildings, permission/approval for demolition of the towers A, B, C & D along with surrounding structures/services... may also kindly be granted to avoid any kind of unforeseen accident/mishappening and further," said Anil Kumar, chief general manager, NBCC India, in the letter....
