Chintel Paradiso unfit for habitation, renovation not possible, reports IIT Delhi

Published on: 

Based on a report by IIT Delhi, Gurugram Addition Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Vishram Kumar Meena on Tuesday said that the report has found structural deficiencies in the construction of these towers.  Repair is not possible on technical and economic grounds, so Towers E and F of Chintels Paradiso condominium in Sector 109 are also unsafe and not fit for habitation. There are 28 flats in Tower E and 22 in Tower F.

"In the recent report too, the concrete used in the construction of the building has found a high amount of chloride. Due to this steel and concrete used in construction got eroded. Earlier, the IIT Delhi team also recommended that E and F-towers be closed. Based on the report of IIT Delhi, the allottees of E and F towers would be rehabilitated as per rules," Meena said. Similarly, the sampling work for the structural audit has been completed for Towers A and G of the condominium, while the sampling work is in process for Tower H, he said.

On February 10, 2022, two persons lost their lives after a slab of six floors of Tower D collapsed partially during repair work. Following the incident, the State Government formed a committee to probe the matter, and a structural audit of the building was ordered.
