Noida Ceiling Collapse Video: Portion of Apartment Roof Crashes Down at Gardenia Gateway Society

A section of the ceiling collapsed in a Noida apartment on Thursday, raising serious concerns about the quality of construction and the safety of residents living in high-rise societies across the city. The mishap occurred at the Gardenia Gateway society in Sector 75, where a massive portion of ceiling plaster and concrete completely detached and fell onto a bed inside one of the flats. Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident, as the tenant occupying the flat had stepped out of the room just minutes before the plaster came crashing down, according to a Jagran report. Visuals of the incident, showing the bed piled high with chunks of concrete, broken plaster and dust, have since gone widely viral on social media, triggering panic among residents and renewed debate over building safety standards in Noida.

Incident Took Place In Tower C-2

According to the Jagran report, the incident occurred in flat number 1814 in Tower C-2 of the Gardenia Gateway society. The flat's owner, Rakesh Khokar, had rented out the apartment to tenants. On learning about the collapse, Khokar sent builders to repair the damage, but angry residents of the society turned them away, demanding a full inspection of the entire complex instead. Apartments in Gardenia Gateway are priced between INR 70 lakh and INR  2 crore, according to property listing platform 99 Acres. Noida Fire: 2 Dead After Blaze Erupts at Residential Building; EV Battery Suspected as Cause (Videos).
