Swarms of cleanliness workers are ready to clear the hazardous dust that will result from the demolition of the infamous Noida Twin Towers, built by Supertech.
Authorities have made an elaborate arrangement to minimise the impact of the expected 55,000 tonnes of debris that will be generated as a result of the demolition.
Talking to The New Indian, Deepu Sharma, a cleanliness worker, said, “Our job will only start after the demolition gets over. Our entry is scheduled for after 3.30 pm. We will clean up the dust and debris left behind after the demolition. We came early to get ready for the job.”
“There are 60 employees in the team. There are other teams too. We work with Noida Authority,” Sharma said.
When asked about the equipment available to them, Sharma said, “We have our safety gear. Apart from that, we have JCBs and tractors to carry out our job. We have a dumping yard, where we will dump the debris.”
For safety reasons, around 5,000 residents of Emerald Court and adjoining ATS Village societies in Sector 93A had to vacate their premises by 7 am on Sunday as per the guidelines.
As a precaution, the two towers were covered with a particular fabric, called geotextile fabric, and which is made of polypropylene or polyester, to trap any flying debris from the blast. Cushions were also placed in the basement of the buildings and on the ground to absorb vibrations from the explosion.
Authorities have deployed four mechanical sweeping machines and around 100 sanitation workers have been deployed. Apart from this, 50 water tankers have been arranged for washing roads, footpaths, central verges and trees and plants in the affected area.
In all, over 3,700 kg of explosives will be used to bring down the structures following a Supreme Court order that found the construction of the twin towers was in violation of norms.
