Let us take a look at some of the images from the demolition drive:
Explosives, weighing a total of nearly 3,700 kgs, were used in a controlled manner to bring down the lakeside structures in Noida.
The Noida authorities meticulously planned operation was successfully carried out in a precise manner amid tight security and after people in the neighbourhood were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
The towering buildings that took several months to build and had housed 2,500 residents collapsed inwards into a pile of rubble like a house of cards in seconds, triggering mammoth 'clouds' of dust.
At the demolition site, a mountain of debris laid bare, in wake of the demolition of Supertech Twin Towers.
The stunning spectacles were witnessed by a large number of people who perched themselves on top of houses and other buildings at vantage points just outside the evacuation zone even as police and district officials kept a vigil.
