Flooding Crisis in Delhi's Coaching Hub

Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar, known for its numerous coaching centers, was severely flooded again due to heavy rain, just days after three students tragically died in similar conditions. Despite ongoing student protests demanding better safety measures, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi faces heavy criticism and a political blame game continues.

Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar, home to numerous coaching centers, experienced severe flooding once again following heavy rains on Wednesday. This comes just a week after three students tragically died in a flood at a local coaching center's basement.

Multiple videos of the flooded area have surfaced, showing the extent of the damage. Residents report that water quickly inundated the area, creating a hazardous situation.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has come under intense scrutiny, with criticism mounting for their handling of the situation. The incident has led to a political blame game between the BJP and the AAP. Students have been actively protesting since the tragic event on July 27, demanding better safety measures at coaching centers.

Amidst the chaos, AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak was seen on the ground, attempting to address the water drainage issues, as shared in a video by the Aam Aadmi Party on their X handle.

The tragic death of three civil services aspirants due to floodwaters in the basement of Rau's IAS Study Circle has heightened the urgency for improved safety protocols in the neighborhood, which continues to be a hotspot for UPSC aspirants.
