Watch Video: Protests Erupt After Coaching Centre Flooding Claims Lives of Three IAS Aspirants

After three civil service aspirants perished as a result of flooding in the basement of a coaching center in Delhi’s Old Rajendra Nagar on Saturday evening, outraged students staged an overnight protest outside the institute, which is currently ongoing.

On Sunday morning, images from the scene showed students sitting on a road outside Rau’s IAS Study Circle, holding signs reading, ‘We want justice.’

A disgruntled IAS candidate lashed out at the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), calling the affair a ‘disaster.’

“MCD says it is a disaster, but I would say that this is complete negligence. Knee-deep water gets logged in half an hour of rain. A ‘disaster’ is something that happens sometimes. My landlord told me that he had been asking the councillor for the last 10–12 days that drainage must be cleaned,” he stated in an interview with a media source.

“The first demand is that action should be taken against the culprits. The immediate demand is that the actual number of deaths and injuries should be put out,” the protesting IAS student added.
