Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday condoled the death of three IAS aspirants due to waterlogging in the basement of a building here, and said common people are paying the price for unsafe construction, poor town planning and irresponsibility of institutions at every level.

The three civil services aspirants died after the basement of the building housing a coaching centre in central Delhi’s Old Rajinder Nagar area was flooded following heavy rain, officials said.

In a post in Hindi on X, Mr Gandhi said, "The death of students preparing for competitive exams due to waterlogging in the basement of a building in Delhi is very unfortunate. A few days ago, a student died due to electric shock during the rains." He expressed heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.

"This collapse of infrastructure is a combined failure of the system. The common citizen is paying the price of unsafe construction, poor town planning and irresponsibility of institutions at every level by losing his life," the former Congress chief said.

A safe and comfortable life is the right of every citizen and the responsibility of governments, Mr Gandhi asserted.

दिल्ली की एक बिल्डिंग के बेसमेंट में पानी भर जाने के कारण प्रतियोगी छात्रों की मृत्यु बहुत ही दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है। कुछ दिन पहले बारिश के दौरान बिजली का करंट लगने से एक छात्र की मृत्यु हुई थी।
सभी शोकाकुल परिजनों को अपनी भावपूर्ण संवेदनाएं व्यक्त करता हूं।
इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर का ये…
