Four More Towers At Gurugram Society Declared Unfit For Living
Gurugram: The day after several houses in Chintels Paradiso in Gurugram collapsed, the city and state planning department has declared four more apartment towers not worth living, leaving many residents in Limbo.
City of Gurugram Regency and State Planner Bhath Hospital, which is currently placed in the community to oversee repair and rehabilitation work, conduct surveys and declare the tower E, F, G and H not feasible to live.
In some houses, the iron road on the ceiling is completely visible. In the other, plaster falls and there is a big crack. Residents have been asked to switch to alternative accommodations, officials said.
Bhath said the cost of rehabilitation of these families will be borne by the Paradiso Chintels builder.
The decision had triggered panic among the population of 200 flats in this tower and left them in uncertainty situations.
“Where do we go suddenly? My child underwent a council exam and was traumatized by the fall of the Tower D. Now where we find a new place with such short notice?” Saloni asked, a resident of Tower E.
“Flat I have developed cracks and we lay every night after collapse, afraid of death. I have spent ₹ 40 lakh on furniture and interior, how can I go. We were destroyed,” Seema said, who lived in the sixth floor in Tower F.
Residents claim that people from Tower D, where the houses collapsed on February 10, camping like refugees and asked how other people would be accommodated.
Bhath said the builder would bear the costs for rehabilitation of these families.
“We have shifted almost everyone. These families will also be rehabilitated and the cost will be borne by the builder. The repair is full of swings,” he said.
