With less than 24 hours left for the demolition of the Supertech twin towers in Noida's Sector 93A, residents like me are preparing to evacuate our homes in neighbouring buildings.
I am a resident of ATS Green Village and along with my family left our home a day before the demolition that is on Saturday evening, 27 August.
Fearing the impact of the explosion and clouds of dust, we have covered our balconies, sealed our doors, removed all wall hangings, and disconnected all electrical appliances.
We have covered our air-conditioners from outside so that the dust doesn't get collected there, and we have also covered our televisions safely in the house.
Balconies in our society have been taped to brace for the impact of the explosion.
Even though the authorities have told us that we can return by Sunday evening, if all goes well, my family and I are planning to be back by Monday as we are not sure what the situation will be.
The demolition is scheduled for 2:30 pm. Two hours after that, a check-up will take place in our society for any damages and then cleaning will begin.
We are worried about the damage that could happen to our society because of the vibrations as a result of the demolition. I just hope everything goes well and we all are back here safely.
