Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday directed a thorough investigation into the role of employees of various departments, including Noida Development Authority, in whose alleged connivance permission was given for the construction of illegal Supertech Emerald Court twin towers, which have been ordered to be demolished by the Supreme Court.
“Thousands of flat owners of Supertech Emerald Court housing projects in Gautambudh Nagar suffered because of some corrupt officials. Despite having paid the money, thousands of investors were taken for a ride by the builders between 2004 and 2012. This needs to be probed,” the CM said.
Following the instructions of the CM, NOIDA Authority CEO Ritu Maheshwari has set up a probe committee comprising two Additional CEOs. The team will investigate the planning department’s lapses. The team will also investigate the role of retired officials.
