The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has taken decisive action in the wake of a tragic incident that claimed the lives of three IAS aspirants. On Saturday evening, these students perished in the waterlogged and flooded basement of Rau’s IAS coaching centre in Old Rajendra Nagar. In response to this heartbreaking event, the civic body has sealed the basements of 13 civil services coaching institutes. This move stems from the MCD’s commitment to enforcing building regulations and ensuring the safety of students and the public. The incident prompted widespread protests from students in the Old Rajendra Nagar area, highlighting the urgency of addressing safety concerns in these coaching centres. The MCD’s swift action demonstrates their determination to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to building regulations and prioritizing safety in all educational institutions.
