A housing society with over 700 flats in Gurgaon, constructed by the state-owned NBCC (India) Ltd, will be demolished after it was declared unsafe for habitation.
Confirming "structural and construction lapses", Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram Nishant Yadav on Wednesday announced that residents of Sector 37 D-based NBCC Green View society have been asked to vacate by March 1. The decision was taken following a meeting with 140 flat owners and NBCC (India) Ltd officials.
Officials said the Government of India enterprise will provide alternate accommodation to the residents. It will also provide rent for those willing to move to flats of their choice with the same parameters.
The decision to demolish the society comes days after a portion of a housing complex named Chintels Paradiso in Gurugram's Sector 109 collapsed, leaving two women dead.
