Coaching centre deaths: Fire services faced multiple challenges during rescue operation

The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) faced significant challenges during a rescue operation at a coaching center in central Delhi, where three civil services aspirants died due to a flooded basement following heavy rain. Despite the lack of fire-related issues, five fire tenders were dispatched. The primary difficulty was pumping out water due to the high water level. The building owner, who violated fire norms by using the basement as a library/classroom, has been arrested along with the coordinator. Police have charged them with culpable homicide and other offenses.
