India is all set to face their arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup but what generated more attention today was the demolition of twin towers of Noida

The Supertech twin towers in Noida were brought down today in a massive explosion. The bringing down of the towers, lasting about nine seconds, gives moral victory to residents of Supertech Emerald Court in Sector 93A after their nine-year court battle with realty firm Supertech.
With the demolition done, the next challenge for Noida authorities is to clean the mountain of debris generated due to the demolition. Officials involved with the operation had earlier said about 55,000 tonnes of debris would be generated.
On the other hand, India will be playing against Pakistan in the second match of the Asia Cup 2022. Last year in 2021, Babar Azam's Pakistan crushed Virat Kohli's India by 10 wickets at the same venue in the first match of the World Twenty20.
Both Group A teams are the top contenders for the Asia Cup 2022. However, the absence of Jaspreet Bumrah and Shaheen Afridi is not the best news for both team. With young guns such as Rishab Pant, Deepak Hooda and Arshdeep Singh, India would be looking for a headstart.
Though it's a big day for Indian cricket as any match between India-Pakistan always grabs the top of the headlines but this time around, It was Noida's twin towers demolition that took the major part of the day and even Netizens started to compare both the news stories. Check out some of the reactions below.
