Delhi Tragedy: Flooding in Coaching Center Basement Claims Three Lives

Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena has ordered a probe into the deaths of three civil service aspirants who perished in a flooded basement of a coaching center in Old Rajinder Nagar. The incident has highlighted significant administrative neglect and calls for accountability among responsible parties.

Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena on Sunday mandated the divisional commissioner to submit a comprehensive report on the tragic deaths of three civil service aspirants caused by flooding in the basement of a coaching center in Old Rajinder Nagar.

Shreya Yadav from UP, Tanya Soni from Telangana, and Navin Dalwin from Kerala lost their lives after the basement of Rau's IAS Study Circle became inundated following heavy rain on Saturday. Officials report that this incident underscores 'criminal neglect' and poor maintenance by responsible agencies.

Saxena expressed deep anguish over the loss of lives and called the incident in India's capital 'unfortunate and unacceptable.' He emphasized the necessity for accountability and has been personally overseeing rescue operations. Additional incidents of electrocution-related deaths have also occurred. Saxena's directive for a detailed report aims to ensure such tragic neglect does not recur.
