Delhi Flooding in Old Rajender Nagar Kills Three Students, Inquiry Ordered Amid Accusations
Jul 27, 2024, 06:20 PM
A severe incident in Delhi's Old Rajender Nagar has resulted in the deaths of three students after the basement of a UPSC coaching institute flooded due to heavy rain. The flooding, which began around 7 pm, trapped several students and necessitated a large-scale rescue operation involving the Delhi Fire Department and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). The water level reached about 7 feet. The Delhi government, led by Minister Atishi, has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident, with a report expected within 24 hours. Local BJP leaders, including Virendra Sachdeva, have accused the AAP government, particularly MLA Durgesh Pathak, of negligence and corruption, citing long-standing issues with drainage maintenance. The situation has sparked significant public outcry and protests against the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
