Chintels Paradiso had said in a statement, "This is an extremely unfortunate incident and we have taken it very seriously as the safety of our residents is our utmost concern. Upon preliminary investigations, we have come to know that some negligence in repair work done by the contractor in an apartment led to this incident. We are fully cooperating with the authorities and ensuring all support. We extend our heartfelt condolence to the affected families.”
The Noida twin towers were demolished in September months after the Supreme Court found that the buildings were erected in violation of building norms. The over 100-meter-tall towers were the largest structures ever demolished in India using controlled explosions.
