NOIDA, India: India demolished two residential high-rise buildings outside New Delhi on Sunday , in a dramatic spectacle carried live on television channels after days of excited media build-up.
Thousands of people, as well as stray dogs, had to be evacuated before the blast, including from neighbouring high-rises, one of which was reportedly just 9m away. TV news channel Times Now, which like others ran a countdown timer and showed little else on Sunday morning, called it the"mother of all demolitions" of the"towers of shame".
The outskirts of major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore have become traps for middle-class buyers who invest in projects that are never completed or get drawn into similar legal sagas.
