Delhi Mayor orders action against illegal coaching centers in basements after 3 UPSC aspirants died due to flooding.
Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi has ordered strict action against illegal coaching centers operating in basement spaces following the recent deaths of three UPSC aspirants due to flooding in a coaching center's basement. Oberoi directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to take action against non-compliant coaching centers, after reviewing the situation post a rescue operation by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). The basement of the building, where the incident occurred, had received its completion certificate in 2021, with clear instructions that the basement could only be used for storage or parking. Oberoi demanded accountability from officials involved in the incident and assured that such a tragedy would not occur again in the future.
