Structural audit policy of high-rises in Noida approved
Meanwhile, the Noida Authority board also approved a policy proposal for the structural audit of high-rise buildings in the city. According to an official statement, the policy defines the roles and responsibilities of the builder as well as the residents' association vis-a-vis repair of structures, if found defective during the audit.
The police, which was also approved during the 207th board meeting of the Noida Authority held at its office in Sector 6, would take around a week for it to get implemented due to paperwork at the local level.
There are around 100 high-rise projects in Noida, many of them having multiple towers.
