Three people, including two female students, died due to a flash flood in the basement of the coaching center. Two people have been detained in this case so far. The Delhi government has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident.
Minister Atishi has sought a report from the Chief Secretary within 24 hours. There is a lot of anger among students over the Delhi coaching accident. On minister Atishi’s order for a magisterial inquiry, the protesting student said, there is no one to take responsibility for the incident. We want someone from the government to come here and take responsibility for all those students who have lost their lives. Whose future are they improving by tweeting or writing letters from their AC rooms?

We are committed to finding the truth. So far two people have been detained. The DCP further said that at 7 pm we received information that the basement of the UPSC Coaching Institute in Rajendra Nagar has been flooded and some people are feared to be trapped. We are investigating how the entire basement got filled.
Kejriwal government is responsible for the death of children
On the Delhi coaching tragedy, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said that these children came here to improve their future but the Delhi government did not listen to the local people. Here MLA Durgesh Pathak asked to clean the drains but it was not done. The basement is completely filled with water and the furniture inside is floating. Kejriwal government is responsible for this death.
What matters now is the lives of children, not politics.
Regarding the incident in old Rajendra Nagar, AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak said that this is a low-lying area. Water flows through this line. A drain or sewer has broken and flooded the basement. Teams are doing their job. BJP should also answer what they did. He has been a councilor for the last 15 years, yet why is the sewer not built? All sewers cannot be built in one year. There is no need for politics, children’s lives matter now.
