It was decided to demolish the society after a portion of a housing complex named Chintels Paradiso in Gurugram’s Sector 109 collapsed, leaving two women dead.
A housing society with over 700 flats here, constructed by the state-owned NBCC (India) Ltd, will be demolished as it was declared unsafe for habitation.
