“Tower G is found unsafe for habitation so residents of this tower will be asked to vacate the tower. An order in this connection will be issued soon. Though tower A is safe at the moment but deterioration is found in that tower as well so I have directed the developer to conduct audits of this tower at regular intervals and share report with the administration,” Meena told Moneycontrol on June 2.
