New Delhi: After three UPSC aspirants died due to flooding in the basement of a coaching center in the national capital, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi has ordered strict action against basement coaching centers in the national capital.
“In an unfortunate incident, a coaching center’s basement was flooded, due to which students got trapped. After getting information about the incident, I rushed to the spot and reviewed the situation. NDRF conducted a rescue operation during which three bodies were recovered from the flooded basement,” she said.
The mayor said that she had shot off a letter to the MCD commissioner, directing the MCD to take strict action against coaching centers that are functioning illegally from the basement and the ones that have violated the norms and bylaws.

She said that the concerned building’s completion certificate was given in 2021, clearly mentioning that its basement can be only used for storage or parking.
