GURUGRAM: State-run NBCC (India) Ltd is pushing for demolishing the remaining unsafe towers and structures at Green View housing project in Sector 37D.
The company — which had razed a part of the project after the complex was declared uninhabitable in 2022 — has sought fresh permission from department of town and country planning (DTCP) for razing six more towers.
Earlier this year, DTCP permitted the demolition of three towers — E, F and G — which are already at an advanced stage of dismantling.
NBCC officials said timely approval is crucial to prevent any mishap as the structures are in a precarious condition.
In a letter dated Sept 9, NBCC’s real estate division urged the district town planner (enforcement) to grant approval for the demolition of towers A, B, C and D, along with two EWS blocks, a school, shopping complex and an underground tank.
The company said in its communication, “Considering the uninhabitable status of the complex and the risk of structural collapse, urgent controlled demolition of the balance buildings is required to avoid danger to life and property.”
A DTCP official confirmed receipt of the letter and said the matter is under examination.
“We will take a call on the request soon, considering safety concerns and the interest of allottees,” he added.
Green View project, launched under licence number 11 of 2009, had over 700 units, of which 255 were sold.
Following a Feb 2022 order by the District Disaster Management Authority, the complex was declared unsafe, leading to the eviction of residents.
Since then, NBCC has been paying monthly rentals to buyers who opted for reconstruction.
According to NBCC, of the 255 buyers, 160 chose refunds, 78 opted for reconstruction, while 17 are still finalising their options.
For EWS allottees, most have agreed to reconstruction. The company assured that rentals would continue until new flats are built and handed over.
The agency also highlighted that redevelopment work cannot begin until all unsafe structures are brought down.
An NBCC official said, “Expedited demolition and reconstruction will provide early relief to the homebuyers and ensure smooth redevelopment.”
The project’s licence was renewed by DTCP in June, extending validity till May 2027, allowing NBCC to proceed with redevelopment.
Officials said the fresh request was made to avoid delay in approvals and to ensure that work is completed in a safe and controlled manner.
