AFTER the drowning of three young UPSC aspirants in a waterlogged basement in Old Rajinder Nagar, a high-level committee set up by the Delhi High Court has recommended the creation of a "Centralised Coordination Cell" under the Department of Urban Development of the city government. The cell would ensure better cooperation between agencies, including MCD, DDA, NDMC, DJB, and Delhi Cantonment Board.

The coaching centre had been illegally running a library in the basement, in violation of safety rules, officials said.
