In a series of tragic incidents over the past few days, Old Rajendra Nagar has mourned the loss of four promising students. Nilesh Rai, a diligent student, was electrocuted on a flooded road. In another devastating event, three UPSC aspirants—Shreya Yadav from Uttar Pradesh, Tanya Soni from Telangana, and Nivin Dalvin from Kerala—lost their lives when sudden flooding overwhelmed the basement library at Rau's IAS campus on July 27. 






Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi has directed the establishment of four public libraries in memory of the deceased students. Mayor Oberoi announced that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) plans to construct these libraries in Rajinder Nagar, Mukherjee Nagar, Patel Nagar, and Ber Sarai.






“I would like to propose that at least four public libraries may be established, constructed by the MCD in the name of the deceased students, at the four places in Rajendra Nagar, Mukherjee Nagar, Patel Nagar, and Ber Sarai,” she said in a post on X.
