Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday directed officials to take strict action against those officials of the Noida Authority, who are accused in the construction of twin towers in Supertech Emerald Court.
The chief minister’s action comes a day after the Supreme Court ordered demolition of the 40-storey twin towers being constructed in Noida’s Sector 93A.
The court also slammed the Noida Authority pointing out multiple incidents of collusion of its officials with Supertech and violations of norms by the realty major in the construction of the twin towers.
