The structures, which had been standing for roughly 18 years, were effectively demolished on Saturday morning, according to the report.

This technique is employed to ensure that a structure collapses in, on itself, within a matter of seconds, while minimizing any potential physical damage to its immediate surroundings," the statement said. Mindspace Business Parks REIT, situated in Mumbai and sponsored by the K Raheja Corp group, will be launched on the Indian stock exchanges in August 2020.
