00:00There was a very sad incident yesterday.
00:02The basement of a coaching centre in Rajendranagar was flooded.
00:05Some children were trapped.
00:07As soon as I found out about this incident, I went to the scene.
00:11I saw that the NDRF team was already conducting a rescue operation.
00:16The saddest thing is that three children died.
00:19As soon as this incident happened, I wrote a letter to Commissioner MCD.
00:24You can see that I have given two instructions.
00:28First, all the coaching centres in Delhi that are under MCD jurisdiction...
00:34...and the coaching centres that run against the bylaws and norms in the basement...
00:40...should be investigated and taken into account.
00:44Secondly, if any MCD officer is responsible for the incident in Rajendranagar...
00:50...then he should also be investigated.
00:52I would like to tell you about this building.
00:55The completion certificate for this building was obtained in 2021.
01:00It is clearly written here that it will be used for parking, storage and car lift in the basement.
01:06I would like to tell you that if such coaching centres are running illegally or misusing the property...
01:15...then they should be investigated.
01:17If any officer is responsible for the incident, then he should also be investigated.
01:20I have a question regarding MCD.
01:23MCD is responsible for the property tax that you take.
01:26It is MCD's responsibility to investigate, give them the certificate and the NOC.
01:32MCD is also responsible for the incident that took place there.
01:36It was being said that a drain or a sewer was burst in front of the building.
01:41When I reached there, I saw that there was no water in the surrounding building.
01:45When the drain or sewer burst, the basement was filled with water like a flash flood.
01:52Because of this, the children were trapped in the basement.
01:55You said that the completion certificate for this building was obtained in 2021.
02:01BJP is accusing MCD of being under your rule.
02:05You are accusing them of being under your rule.
02:07This accusation is like the death of a child.
02:10When such incidents happen, we should not blame them.
02:14We should not accuse them.
02:17We should take strict action against the person responsible for the incident.
02:21If such coaching centres are violating the norms and bylaws in the basement...
02:27...then we should take action against them.
02:29In the past few days, we have seen the death of a child in Patel Nagar.
02:32The child was electrocuted due to water.
02:36Three children have died.
02:38Such incidents are happening all the time.
02:40We should take action against them.
02:43Because it is the rainy season.
02:45The record of 88 years has been broken.
02:50There is a problem of waterlogging.
02:52But MCD, PWD, Delhi Jal Board are working 24 hours on the ground...
02:57...to provide solutions to the people of Delhi.
