gurugram:
Yet another Chintels Paradiso Society tower in Gurugram has been declared unsafe for habitation by IIT Delhi, officials said.
This is the fifth tower in the residential complex in Sector 109 in Gurugram that was declared unsafe by IIT Delhi in the audit report it submitted to the district administration.
Hitesh Kumar Meena, Additional Deputy Commissioner, Gurugram said that IIT’s report will be made public and an evacuation notice will also be issued soon.
Of the nine towers in the complex, the technical institute has completed the structural audit for all but one of the towers, Mr Meena said, adding that the audit report for Tower J is awaited, he said.
In its latest report, IIT Delhi said that Tower H of the residential complex, which is home to about 11 families, is “unsafe for habitation” while the condition of Towers B and C is deteriorating, but they are not unsafe as of now.
Of the four towers – D, E, F and G – previously declared unsafe, D, E and F have been evacuated while evacuation notices will soon be issued for Tower G, district authorities said.
Six floors of Tower D partially collapsed in February last year, leading to the deaths of two female residents.
“We will release IIT’s audit report along with an immediate evacuation order shortly as our committee set up to oversee the matter is investigating the report,” said ADC Meena.
“We have been informed that Tower H has been declared unsafe, but we have not yet received a copy of the report,” said Rakesh Hooda, president of RWA of Chintels Paradiso Society.
