Gurugram's project-construction-quality cage seems to have been rattled violently. And as a result, another nasty skeleton has fallen out of it. 

Abandon Ship!

During a recent construction audit, NBCC's Green View Housing Society in Sector 37D, Gurugram, was found completely unsafe for living. 

So, to prevent another catastrophic structural failure, all the project's residents have been asked to vacate their homes by March 1, 2022. The entire project comprising 700 apartments, will then be demolished. 

Mind Blowing Corrosion

When NBCC(India) Chairman and MD, P K Gupta checked out the project recently, he was shocked at how such a large development could have deteriorated in just 4 to 5 years since its completion. 

The IIT-Delhi team, that was running the audit was aghast at how high levels of Chloride in the water had eaten away into the buildings' core like a cancer. 

Relocation Assistance

Per this ET report, NBCC officials met with 140 apartment owners and promised:

📌 Alternate accommodation of similar quality and size

📌 Monetary compensation to cover rent if an apartment owner chose to find his own acco

In One Sip

While that is the least to be expected from NBCC - a premiere Govt. of India organisation, tasked with building mega projects across the country - the company must also realise what this does to their brand equity. 

We mean come on, projects constructed by the organisation should become benchmarks of good quality, instead of becoming subjects of demolition GIFs.
