Noida: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday ordered an inquiry and strict action against the guilty officials in the Noida Supertech twin towers case.
The directives came after the Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the demolition of the 40-storey twin towers that had come up in violation of building byelaws in Supertech's Emerald Court housing project in Noida's Sector 93.
The top court ordered that the towers be razed within three months for the violation of building norms in "collusion" with district officials, holding that illegal construction has to be dealt with strictly to ensure compliance with the rule of law.
The chief minister also directed officials to register criminal cases against the guilty persons, if need be, as he reviewed the matter in Lucknow, an official spokesperson said.
"In the case of Noida's Supertech Emerald court case, the orders of the Supreme Court should be ensured in letter and spirit. Irregularities in this case have been going on continuously since 2004," the CM said, according to the spokesperson.
"A special inquiry committee should be constituted at the government level and a thorough investigation be done," Adityanath said.
