NEW DELHI: Several residents of Signature View Apartments vacated the premises on Sunday, the final day of the court-mandated deadline.
The Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of Signature View in Mukherjee Nagar stated that with the deadline passed, residents must leave the buildings.
“As the MCD has previously indicated that water and power services will be cut off after October 12, many residents are departing today. We will have the final count by tonight,” said RWA president Amrendra Singh Rakesh in a statement to PTI.
Located in North Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar, the housing complex was constructed between 2007 and 2009 and allotted under a Delhi Development Authority (DDA) scheme by 2011-12. However, it has experienced significant structural decline over the years.
The complex consists of around 336 high-income (HIG) and middle-income (MIG) flats that have developed serious structural issues, including extensive cracks in walls and ceilings, raising safety alarms.
“Approximately 90 residents have yet to vacate the building,” Rakesh added.
The DDA issued a tender in March to demolish Signature View Apartments, declaring it structurally unsound.
