Twin Towers Demolition: Over 40 Street Dogs Moved to Shelters Run By NGOs

Several NGOs are working to help rescue dogs hours before the Noida Twin Towers are set to go down.

Countdown starts for the Noida Supertech Twin Towers demolition — both taller than Delhi’s iconic Qutub Minar and scheduled to be done at 2:30 pm today.

While authorities have already evacuated around 5,000 residents of the two housing communities near the soon-to-be-demolished twin towers, authorities also have another mission – the evacuation of dogs.

According to ANI, several NGOs are working to help rescue dogs hours before the Twin Towers are set to go down. An NGO member speaking to ANI said, “We have today saved almost 30-35 dogs; we’re working on getting out each & every one of them.”

According to PTI, an NGO has also requested authorities to conduct a dummy explosion or a false firing just before the twin towers are razed to save the birds in the area.

In photos, dogs were seen being lifted out and carried on the streets of Sector 93. Authorities have also encouraged residents to ensure their pets are all evacuated from the buildings.

The demolition is expected to be a big mess. The nearly 100-meter-tall structures are razed to the ground in less than 15 seconds by a waterfall implosion strategy. Over 3,700 kg of explosives will be used to bring down the structures after an order by the Supreme Court that found the building within the Emerald Court society premises in violation of norms.
