'Coaching Centre Completely Blocked Drainage System': Delhi CS In Report To Atishi On IAS Aspirants' Death

The report said that the coaching institute completely blocked the drainage system and also has not taken additional safeguards against such incidents.

Delhi Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar submitted an enquiry report to Delhi Minister Atishi in Old Rajinder Nagar Incident, which led to the deaths of three IAS aspirants last week.

The report said that the coaching institute completely blocked the drainage system and also has not taken additional safeguards against such incidents.

"This coaching institute has completely blocked the drainage system and also has not taken additional safeguards to meet out such type of eventualities. The parking access to the institute is directly exposed to the road and in case of heavy rain, water instead of going into the stormwater drain enters directly into this parking area," the report said.

"There was no vigil on the part of security staff as a result water uninterruptedly crosses the parking area and entered into the basement and ultimately taking the precious life of three bright children," it added. 

The central district magistrate has been directed to ascertain the cause of coaching centre flooding incident and fix the responsibility of the people concerned, the Chief Secretary said in his report.

However, the Assistant Engineer(M-1)/KBZ responsible for maintenance of the drains system of area has been suspended with immediate effect and services of Junior Engineer (M-1)/KBZ has been terminated forthwith, the Delhi Chief Secretary said.

Earlier on Monday, Atishi had lashed out at Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar over delay in filing inquiry report for the recent basement coaching centre deaths.

The AAP leader had given the top bureaucrat a 10 pm deadline to submit a report on the matter. The Home Ministry has also formed a high-level committee on Monday to investigate the flooding incident. The MHA has given a time of 30 days to the committee to submit the report in the incident.

Three IAS aspirants -- Shreya Yadav from Uttar Pradesh, Tanya Soni from Telangana and Nevin Dalwin from Kerala -- died after the basement of a building housing Rau's IAS Study Circle coaching institute was flooded following rain on Saturday evening.

The interim report was provided by additional chief secretary but since the road concerned with the incident belongs to the MCD, therefore, a report was also sought from the civic body, Kumar said in the report.
