Disruption in metro services between Dumdum and Dakshineswar; normal services resume after 2 hours
In response to a tragic incident that resulted in the deaths of three civil services aspirants due to sudden flooding, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has begun sealing coaching centres operating illegally from basements. This action comes a day after the fatal incident at Rau's IAS Study Circle in the Old Rajinder Nagar area.
By the time of this report, the MCD had sealed the basements of 13 Civil Services Coaching Institutes. These raids were conducted across the Rajinder Nagar area, a known hub for such coaching centres.
Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi announced the drive on social media, indicating that it could be expanded throughout the capital if necessary. "After yesterday's tragic incident, MCD has started the process of sealing all the coaching centres in Rajinder Nagar that were violating rules in the basement! If necessary, this campaign will be run all over Delhi!" Oberoi wrote in Hindi on X.
