A housing society with over 700 flats in Gurgaon will be demolished after it was declared unsafe for habitation.
The society was constructed by the state-owned NBCC (India) Ltd. The residents of Sector 37 D-based NBCC Green View society have been asked to vacate, said Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram Nishant Yadav on Wednesday, following a meeting with 140 flat owners and NBCC (India) Ltd officials.
Yadav 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, he said.
“The decision has been taken in the interest of the flat owners and consensus between them and the building authority NBCC. We will oversee the compensation and rehabilitation of the residents,” Yadav told news agency PTI.
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.
