HC directed the authorities to remove all encroachments on drains in the Rajinder Nagar area by Friday.
-
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday pulled up authorities over the deaths of three UPSC aspirants who drowned in the basement of a coaching centre, saying such tragedies are bound to happen when there is no collection of taxes due to a “freebies culture”. The high court hinted at asking a central agency to probe the incident and directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) commissioner, deputy commissioner of police concerned and the investigating officer of the case to appear before it on Friday.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela said a “strange probe” was going on with Delhi Police taking action against a man who drove a car outside the coaching centre in Old Rajinder Nagar here but not acting against MCD officials.
