The Congress called for fixing accountability over the death of three IAS aspirants in Delhi, with Rahul Gandhi, in a post on social media, asserting that common people are paying the price for “irresponsibility of institutions” at every level.
दिल्ली की एक बिल्डिंग के बेसमेंट में पानी भर जाने के कारण प्रतियोगी छात्रों की मृत्यु बहुत ही दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है। कुछ दिन पहले बारिश के दौरान बिजली का करंट लगने से एक छात्र की मृत्यु हुई थी।
सभी शोकाकुल परिजनों को अपनी भावपूर्ण संवेदनाएं व्यक्त करता हूं।

“The death of competitive students due to waterlogging in the basement of a building in Delhi is very unfortunate. A few days ago, a student died due to electric shock during the rains. I express my heartfelt condolences to all the bereaved families. This collapse of infrastructure is a collective failure of the system. The common citizen is paying the price of unsafe construction, poor town planning and irresponsibility of institutions at every level by losing his life. Safe and comfortable life is the right of every citizen and the responsibility of the governments,” reads the post.
