The tragic death of three UPSC aspirants in the flooding of a coaching center's basement has sent shockwaves through Delhi and the nation. A new video has emerged, offering a harrowing glimpse into the swiftness of the floodwaters as they engulfed the basement of Rao's IAS Coaching center in Old Rajendra Nagar (ORN). The footage captures students scrambling to escape the rising water, some heading to the ground floor while others remained unsure of the fate of their peers. The video serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of the recent heavy rainfall and inadequate drainage systems in the city.
In response to the incident, Delhi Police have announced their intention to interrogate officials of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) regarding the drainage system in the area. The police investigation will focus on understanding the reasons behind the flooding and the extent to which the MCD's shortcomings contributed to the tragedy. The police are also expected to issue a notice to the MCD officials, highlighting the inadequate arrangements and highlighting the need for immediate improvements to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The death of the three aspirants has raised concerns about the safety of students attending coaching classes in Delhi. The incident has also sparked outrage over the city's inadequate infrastructure and the lack of preparedness for heavy rainfall. As the investigation unfolds, authorities face pressure to address the systemic issues that led to this preventable tragedy and ensure the safety of students and residents alike.
