"I am in the building that is closest to the ground zero. I have seen these illegal towers come up right in front of my eyes when I moved here in 2010. My broker had not informed me that towers were supposed to come up. It was a green area. I watched helplessly as my flat was plunged into darkness for 12 years. I am hopeful that these towers will come down safely," Preeti, who lives in the neighbouring Supertech Emerald Court, said.
