"Coaching Centres Have Become Death Chambers": Top Court On Delhi Tragedy

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the centre and the Delhi government over the death of three students - they drowned in the flooded basement of an IAS coaching centre in Rajendra Nagar amid heavy rain - last month.

During the hearing, the court slammed authorities for failing to regulate coaching centres, accusing them of "playing with the lives of children". Coaching centres have become "death chambers", the court said.

Their deaths - the result of drains failing to clear stagnant rainwater, which was washed back into the basement with sewage - have triggered a furious legal and political row over the condition of infrastructure in the national capital.
