Delhi area where IAS aspirants died flooded again after heavy rains

Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar, where three students died due to flooding in the basement of a coaching centre last week, was flooded again following a spell of heavy rain on Wednesday.

Several videos surfaced of the flood-like situation in the stretch that is lined with many coaching centres.

"We had come out from our home for dinner and it suddenly started raining and within minutes the whole area got flooded with water," a resident of the area said.

"Even after five days (of the death of the UPSC aspirants), the administration and MCD is applying its complete force to suppress the protest and has done nothing for cleaning the drains," he said.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was heavily criticised for the incident, which has has triggered a political blame game between the BJP and the AAP.

Students have been protesting since the incident happened on July 27 and are demanding improved safety measures at coaching centres that pose a threat to their lives.
