Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ordered stern action against officials involved in the illegal construction of two 50-storey Supertech towers in Noida, officials said in a statement.

According to an official spokesperson, the chief minister has also been directed to file a criminal case against the culprits. If necessary, the Chief Minister himself will review the matter in Lucknow.

The apex court had yesterday ordered the demolition of two 50-storey towers at Supertech's Emerald housing project in Noida's Sector 7 for illegal construction. The Supreme Court has ordered the demolition of both the towers within three months.
