Delhi’s streets turned into rivers as relentless rains wreaked havoc in Old Rajinder Nagar, a hotspot for UPSC aspirants. In a spine-chilling turn of events, students took to the flooded streets, standing waist-deep in water, chanting for justice and drawing nationwide attention.
Just days after the tragic deaths of three UPSC aspirants who drowned in a basement library, the area is once again under water. Viral videos show brave students, undeterred by the thigh-high floods, demanding accountability from the authorities. Internet sensation Prerna Bhardwaj shared these harrowing clips, slamming the corrupt nexus of the MCD, Delhi Government, and coaching mafias for turning a blind eye to the recurring disaster.
“This is not just rain—this is negligence and corruption killing our brightest minds!” Bhardwaj’s explosive post read. Her accusations have ignited a social media firestorm, with the public rallying behind the students’ cause.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a ‘red’ alert for severe waterlogging, but the students’ protests have taken center stage. Their fearless chants of “We want justice” echo across the flooded streets and social media, capturing the nation’s heart and attention. Netizens are hailing their courage, flooding the internet with messages of support and calls for systemic reform.
Amidst the chaos, the torrential downpour also led to the diversion of ten flights at Delhi Airport, adding to the city’s turmoil. The scenes of students wading through water, undeterred and unyielding, have become a powerful symbol of resilience and resistance.
As the floodwaters rise, so does the tension. Will the authorities finally take action, or will the cycle of negligence and corruption continue? The nation watches, captivated and concerned, waiting for justice to be served for these brave UPSC aspirants.
