Chintels buildings are being demolished, and apartment owners are asking for rent

Flat owners have written to the Deputy Commissioner to instruct the builder to begin paying the rent for alternate accommodations to tenants who have chosen to have their flats rebuilt at the same location, while the process of demolishing five towers of the Chintels Paradiso gets underway.

In a letter sent to the administration, the resident welfare association (RWA) cited a recent Supreme Court decision that addressed their issue and said that it was necessary to make arrangements for the payment.

The organization claimed that “the builder must pay suitable rent to the affected buyers from the commencement of the re-construction until the project gets completed,” as stated in the Supreme Court’s January order.

“Any new building can be constructed here after the demolition of the unsafe towers, which has already begun so it is part of the project’s reconstruction,” said Rakesh Hooda, president of RWA, Chintels Paradiso. Therefore, the developer is required by the Supreme Court’s orders to reimburse the impacted homeowners for their rent. We have sent a letter to the DC in Gurugram asking him to set a fair rent amount and give the builder instructions to abide by it.

The five dangerous residential society skyscrapers are now being demolished by Edifice Engineering.

The company is choosing mechanical demolition in Chintels to bring down the five dangerous buildings, D, E, F, G, and H. Previously, it had used an explosive to bring down the Supertech twin towers in Noida.

It should be noted that two people lost their life in February 2022 as a result of Tower D’s partial collapse.

The IIT-Delhi’s structural safety assessment reports that followed found that the society’s towers D, E, F, G, H, and J were “unsafe” to occupy and suggested that they be demolished.

The other four towers in the society are home to inhabitants, and this destruction method was suggested because of the buildings’ close proximity to other residential structures and the housing complex itself.

It has been discovered that the demolition is expected to be finished in eight months, however this might change based on a number of variables, including the amount of time each day that work has to be done and the area that can be used to transport large machinery.

“The towers at the Chintels Paradiso are being demolished this week,” said Mayur Mehta of Edifice Engineering.

In contrast to controlled implosion, both mechanical and human methods will be used to collapse these structures. We now have 50 workers on board to begin the demolition. Mehta said that this figure will be raised in the future based on demand and the addition of additional machines.
