Taking a lesson from the death of three people due to flooding in the basement of a coaching centre in Delhi, the Patna administration has also started taking strict measures. The district administration said on Sunday that if a coaching centre is found running in the basement of any building in Patna, it will be sealed immediately.
According to the news agency report, after the death of three students preparing for UPSC at Delhi Rao Coaching Institute, coaching institutes are also being inspected in Bihar’s capital Patna. Regarding this, Patna District Magistrate (DM) Chandrashekhar Singh said that till now no coaching center has been found running from the basement here.
The district administration has given clear instructions to the officials that the coaching institutes running in the basement should be sealed immediately. This is a direct violation of the existing norms of running a coaching institute. However, the DM told, ‘During the inspection of coaching centers, not a single institute was found running in the basement in the state capital.’
