The demolition will take place at 2.30 pm. According to the demolition firm Edifice Engineering, over 3,500 kg of explosives will be used to raze the 100-meter tall twin towers.

The impact of the demolition is likely to be maximum in and around the Emerald Court and ATS Village societies; over 5,000 people from these areas will be evacuated.

Authorities said emergency services - such as fire tenders and ambulances - will be deployed on the road behind the park in front of the twin towers during the demolition process.

In addition, the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway that is close to the twin towers will be shut for vehicular movement from 2.15 pm to 2.45 pm. Traffic will be diverted and Google Maps will have updated feeds for re-routed and real-time traffic situations.
