Rescue operations were launched, along with Delhi Police and Delhi Fire Service, NDRF was also involved. By the end of the search and rescue op...3 bodies were recovered from the basement. All 3 of them have been identified and the family members have been informed. They are, Shreya Yadav, native of Ambedkar Nagar district of UP, Tanya Soni, whose permanent address is Telangana and Nivin Dalwin, a resident of Kerala's Ernakulam. Case registered under sections 105, 106 (1), 115 (2), 290 and 35 of BNS. This case is against the coaching institute and the management of the building and those who were responsible for the maintenance of the drain of that place...so far we have detained the owner and coordinator of that coaching centre.Further investigation underway- DCP Central M Harshavardhan
I do not want to politicise this whole issue but at the same time we have to see that today the (Delhi) government is proving to be a complete failure. It is not able to provide water, waterlogging is happening... Who permitted to run the institute in the basement? We should pay attention to this. Kejriwal ji continuously writes letters to maintain his position, but now we should also see the condition of Delhi today...His ministers are not able to do anything today. The situation is that the minister, who should have reached the spot immediately, has not reached there... We have said earlier also that if they are not able to run the government, then an all-party meeting should be called, discussions should be held and solutions to these problems should be found. The work is not going to be done with just a few hours of sympathy. The infrastructure of Delhi looks completely destroyed today and the attention of this government should be drawn towards this. They should take moral responsibility and if you see their entire tenure, they are continuously failing.- Congress President Devender Yadav
It is sad that 3 children have died. I have written to the MCD Commissioner that strict action should be taken against all such coaching centres across Delhi which are under the jurisdiction of MCD and are running commercial activities in the basement which are violating the building bylaws and are not as per the norms. The completion certification of this building in Rajinder Nagar was given in 2021 and it is clearly written that the basement will be used only for parking and storage... We should not play the blame game and take action against those responsible... The way it is raining in Delhi, the record of 88 years has been broken and there is a problem of waterlogging but MCD, PWD, Delhi Jal Board are working 24 hours to give relief to the people of Delhi.- Mayor Shelly Oberoi
"Three people have died. Why will we hide anything? We assure you that we will do whatever is legally possible. The investigation is on...," says Additional DCP Sachin Sharma to protesting students
