Description
Two illegally built residential high-rises are slated for demolition near India's capital this weekend in a rare crackdown on developers who cut corners and swindle unsuspecting home-buyers. A controlled implosion will bring down the 100-metre-high "Twin Towers" on New Delhi's outskirts after a Supreme Court ruling last year found the structures were built unlawfully in collusion with local authorities. "I am both excited and nervous," says Chetan Dutta, a demolition expert who will press the button and set off the explosives on Sunday. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
