NBCC Green View’s three towers set for demolition in Gurugram

                Gurgaon: Three towers of NBCC Green View 
will be razed. The district administration has 
granted permission for demolition of towers E, 
F and G — along with surrounding structures 
and services — at NBCC Green View in Sector 
37D.
The approval was issued following a request 
by NBCC (India) Ltd., which had submitted a 
representation on Jan 22. NBCC had sought 
permission to demolish these three towers on 
priority, as several balconies of Tower F had 
collapsed in 2024, posing a serious threat to a 
school adjacent to the complex.
The ownership of these towers remains with 
NBCC, as the units were never sold.
The decision was finalised at a meeting held 
on Feb 10 under the chairmanship of deputy 
commissioner.
The demolition approval marks a significant 
step in resolving the long-pending crisis faced 
by homebuyers, who have been waiting for a 
resolution since their forced evacuation in 
2022. Permission to demolish other towers, 
which were vacated by the flat owners, is still 
awaited as settlement with flat owners is 
pending.
In a letter to authorities earlier, NBCC 
highlighted the urgent need to demolish the 
unsafe structures.
"Due to the deteriorating condition of the 
building, multiple balconies of Tower F 
collapsed on Aug 9, 2024 and again on Sept 9, 
2024. The risk of further collapse threatens the 
safety 
of nearby residents and the adjacent school," 
an NBCC official said in the letter. The 
company assured that demolition would be 
conducted using high-reach machines in a 
controlled 
manner by a private agency. Authorities have 
directed NBCC to follow all safety and 
environmental norms during demolition.
The company must obtain necessary no 
objection certificates (NOCs) from concerned 
departments and submit fortnightly progress 
reports. Officials have also warned that NBCC 
will 
be held solely responsible for any mishaps.
Representatives from key administrative and 
technical departments — including the 
additional deputy commissioner, the district 
town planner (enforcement) and the public 
works 
department (PWD) — were present at the Feb 
10 meeting chaired by the DC.
After extensive deliberations, officials agreed 
to allow the demolition, provided NBCC 
adheres to all prescribed guidelines.
According to the order, the demolition will 
proceed in compliance with the applicable 
policies and guidelines. The district 
commissioner's order said, "After detailed 
deliberation at a 
meeting held on Feb 10 with officials from 
relevant departments, it was decided to allow 
the demolition of the mentioned towers, 
subject to adherence to all regulations."
The order issued on Tuesday further added, 
"Accordingly, following the necessary NOC 
provided by the concerned departments as per 
their policy parameters, the permission is 
allowed for demolition of Towers E, F & G 
along with surrounding structures/services of 
Group Housing Society, namely, NBCC Green 
View, Sector 37 D, Gurgaon. Further, it is also 
directed that you shall comply with all 
guidelines as suggested by the concerned 
departments before execution. The necessary 
instructions issued by the concerned 
departments are 
enclosed herewith for further compliance."
