3 days before coaching hub deaths, a student's complaint to PWD flagged waterlogging

However, a complaint has now pointed to another instance of official negligence linked to the episode. Kanishka Tiwari, a UPSC aspirant at Rau’s IAS Study Circle, had written to the public works department over waterlogging in several areas in Karol Bagh, including Rajinder Nagar, after a student died due to electrocution in Patel Nagar a week ago. The complaint was transferred to the MCD but no action was taken. Her complaint was filed just three days before sudden flooding in the coaching centre’s basement claimed three lives.
Newslaundry had earlier reported how building norms were flouted by Rau’s IAS Study Circle and how the lack of a clean-up of drains had contributed to waterlogging in the locality.
Kanishka says three lives could have been saved had the authorities acted on time.

If they did complained and no action was taken then that department who did not took any action should be held responsible

3 important things for the video 1. Power & Brave Woman - I salute her for her actions 2. Newslaundry is the best channel which stands neutral & never stands to any side. 3. Our life value in India is valued less. Only the rich & politicians are playing with the lives of the poor.

The major thing is that if such things happen in Capital, then just think of what actions could other state governments do ?? This is shocking
