The Signature View Apartments in Mukherjee Nagar, New Delhi, are set for demolition within the next fortnight, following the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) completion of evidence collection related to alleged construction irregularities. The twin towers, which have remained vacant for over two months due to structural safety concerns, prompted the relocation of approximately 350 families. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is currently covering the cost of their temporary accommodation. The CBI's investigation has focused on accountability among officials and contractors involved in the project, which has faced criticism for poor construction quality since its completion in 2010. Detailed planning for the demolition is underway to ensure safety and minimal impact on the surrounding area. An IIT report previously declared the buildings unsafe, leading to the lieutenant governor's order for demolition and reconstruction in 2023.
