Security has been intensified in Old Rajinder Nagar, a coaching hub, as protests erupted over the tragic deaths of three students who drowned in their institute's flooded basement following heavy rains, officials confirmed on Monday.

Protesters, comprising mainly IAS aspirants, have sat on the ground demanding justice, compensation for the families of the deceased, and stringent action against those responsible.

According to Ankit Singh, a protester, police have erected barricades near the protest site and are now allowing everyone to join the protest after initially checking ID cards. Additionally, two earthmovers have been deployed to the site.

The protest is centered outside Rau's IAS Study Circle, where the incident occurred.
