The tragic incident of flooding in Old Rajinder Nagar, Delhi, of a teaching centre basement led to the deaths of three Indian civil service aspirants last month. The Supreme Court took suo moto cognisance of the incident.
The bench accused these centres in various parts of Delhi of becoming more “death chambers.” The bench of justices included Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan. The bench of two Justices sent notices for responses to the Delhi government and the Centre.
They can’t function in offline classes. The authority has to conduct classes online unless they completely adhere to safety regulations and the fundamental requirements for a life of dignity. The lives of candidates from around the nation are in danger because of these institutes.
The Delhi government, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), and the Centre were also directed by the Supreme Court to submit answers outlining the safety regulations that are currently in effect. The bench voiced serious concerns about the security and welfare of pupils at coaching facilities.
In order to guarantee openness and public trust in the investigation, the Delhi High Court had earlier moved the probe from the Delhi Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The victims of the tragedy, identified as Nevin Delvin (24), from Kerala, Tanya Soni (25), from Bihar, and Shreya Yadav (25), from Uttar Pradesh, had all died as a result of the flooding.
Students from other coaching institutes have protested in the wake of the incident. The other aspirants rightfully demanded increased safety precautions. Students came together in front of the coaching centre on Sunday night for a candlelight march in memory of their departed classmates.
The demonstrators are calling for adequate upkeep of the area’s drainage systems, reasonable access to library resources, and significant compensation for each victim’s family of Rs 5 crore.
Politicians such as Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, Aam Aadmi Party leaders Sanjay Singh, Atishi, and Shelly Oberoi visited the protest site to interact with students and talk about potential solutions.
The co-owners of a basement in Old Rajendra Nagar had their bail requests denied by the Tis Hazari court in the meantime. Following consideration of the Delhi Police’s submissions, Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Rakesh Kumar denied the bail requests of Harvinder, Tejinder, Parvinder, and Sarabjeet. The judge said that after the inquiry is transferred, they could ask the relevant court for bail.
