Delhi’s famous Rau IAS coaching centre flooded, 3 student dies,

#News Bureau July 27,2008

A girl student died and at least two other students were trapped for over three hours after water suddenly entered the basement of the popular Rao Study Coaching Centre in west Delhi. The incident took place in the basement of Rau IAS Study Circle in Old Rajendra Nagar. Fire brigade officials said they received information about students being trapped in the basement at 7.19 pm on Saturday and five fire tenders were rushed to assist in the rescue operations. Teams of the National Disaster Response Force also reached the spot.



Officials said that the body of a girl student has been recovered and rescue operations are underway. Many students are reported to be trapped. However, late night it was reported that two students are missing. But no other body has been found.

Recently, a student preparing for UPSC died of electric shock while trying to cross a waterlogged road in Patel Nagar, which is also in West Delhi. Wherever coaching centres are operating, the conditions are not good. Students face various problems even in a little rain. Girls face the most problems. Apart from charging hefty fees, those running coaching centres do not take any safety measures in the building. Even the building owners do not pay attention to such measures.

Delhi BJP president and former MLA from Rajinder Nagar constituency Rajesh Bhatia, who was at the coaching centre, attacked the AAP government over the tragedy. In a video before the news of a student’s death, he had said, “The basement is flooded and students are trapped. I pray to God that no one dies. I have spoken to Durgesh Pathak many times before and told him that there can be such a tragedy here, but he did not listen and did nothing except doing politics.”
