In the horrifying incident in Delhi’s Old Rajender Nagar, the basement of the Rao IAS Coaching Center was inundated with water, leading to the tragic deaths of three students. The incident has sparked outrage and led to protests by students outside the affected coaching center.
Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi has instructed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi Commissioner to take strict action against coaching centres in the city that are operating commercial activities in basements. This decision follows a tragic incident where three students died after getting trapped in the basement of a popular coaching centre during heavy rains.
The Mayor emphasized that coaching centres in basements, which violate building regulations, must face severe penalties. She also ordered an investigation into whether any MCD officials were involved or negligent in the incident, with strict action to be taken against any guilty parties.
In a letter to the Commissioner, the Mayor expressed her shock over the deaths and demanded a thorough investigation and strong action. She urged immediate enforcement against any coaching centres breaking the rules.
Additionally, Delhi Minister Atishi has asked Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar to conduct an inquiry and provide a report within 24 hours on the situation.
Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal says, “The students are very sad and angry. It has been more than 12 hours, till now neither any minister of Delhi government has come, nor the mayor of MCD, nor any officer. I believe that these deaths are not a disaster, this is a murder, an FIR should be registered against all these big government officials. It is not yet known whether 3 have died or more have died. Compensation of Rs 1 crore should be given to all the students who have died…The minister, Mayor should come here immediately and apologize to them. Delhi will not run like this. I will raise this issue in Parliament. I will keep all the demands of students in Parliament… The students are saying that 12 days ago they had informed the councillor that the drain system here is bad, so the councillor and all the people above him should answer.”
