A ground reality check from Delhi's coaching hubs, including Mukherjee Nagar and Nehru Vihar, highlights severe safety hazards and living challenges faced by UPSC aspirants. In Indira Vihar, a residential building has visibly tilted and developed cracks between adjacent structures. Despite the Municipal Corporation of Delhi issuing a notice declaring the premises dangerous and instructing occupants to vacate, no demolition or corrective action has been executed. Aspirants residing in the vicinity express serious concern over structural instability, blocked drainage, and weakened ground foundations. The report also highlights the difficult living conditions in nearby Nehru Vihar, where students pay steep monthly rents of sixteen thousand rupees for damp, poorly maintained rooms with peeling plaster and rusted rods. Aspirants report facing high brokerage demands, lack of rent agreements, and arbitrary eviction threats from landlords who reside in safer, affluent neighbourhoods.

00:00Let's go across now to my colleague Piyush Mishra for the latest on this
00:04because Piyush is also telling us as a quick reality check about the situation.
00:10If this is a student accommodation, there's Mukherjee Nagar as well in a different part of Delhi.
00:15Piyush, what do you see around you?
00:16We do reality checks, we put it out for the government to notice, and yet then this incident happens.
00:22What is your current status and update from where you are reporting?
00:30Well, Pooja, the place from where right now I'm reporting is Mukherjee Nagar,
00:34and a very glaring, concerning thing has now come to the fore.
00:39This is the area in Mukherjee Nagar.
00:41This falls under Indra Vihar of Mukherjee Nagar,
00:45and right in front of me you can see a building, a residential complex.
00:49It has developed cracks.
00:50You can see as to how between these two buildings, cracks are visible.
00:55Two years back, MCD had pasted a notice here,
00:58and MCD had made it very very clear that this is a dangerous building,
01:03and occupants of this building must vacate this building.
01:06And okay, yes, people have vacated this,
01:08but the point here is that in the last two years,
01:11no actions have been taken, and this building has not been brought down.
01:15But you can see how dangerous this situation is.
01:18We can see as to how this building has now been tilted,
01:21and it can collapse any day, any time.
01:26And if it collapses, then it is going to create havoc in this entire area.
01:30This is Mukherjee Nagar, and this is also called as hub of UPSC experience.
01:35Let me also try to get in a word from the students who live here,
01:39and they try to understand how concerning is this.
01:42This is crazy, too.
01:44And so, how do you know it?
01:45It took place two years.
01:46It took place two years.
01:46Two years ?
01:47Yes, it took place two years
01:48? Yes, it took place two years,
01:50this one still dropped,
01:50he also put a FTSE oil,
01:53The cISS miller has also been altogether than the earth,
01:58the earth.
02:01Sounds like a building.
02:05The main first problem is
02:08foreign
02:21foreign
02:23I think it's very scary, sir.
02:27You know that one chathar is 25 years old for a month here.
02:30Then, you see, this is a tailor.
02:33There is a very big building here, the Bardaman Plaza,
02:36where there is a 1,500 chathar per day,
02:37which is 24 hours.
02:40There is a lot of stability there.
02:41So, this is a great deal.
02:45So, these students here, UPSC experience here,
02:47I hear Puja telling me that the authorities are not following any kind of rules and regulations.
02:53It's been around two years and no actions have been taken to bring this building down.
02:58Let me also try to read a notice which has been pasted.
03:01I would ask my video journalists to come with me,
03:03then we'll try to show you as to how a native notice was pasted here on 18th July 2023.
03:08And it is clearly mentioned here that, you know,
03:36civil lines zone near Manusar adhikrit evan pradit shakti,
03:44so, this is the notice here is telling us that this entire building is a dangerous complex.
03:56And this notice was pasted in 2023.
03:59And despite being two years, no actions have been taken by MCD.
04:05It's been four years that no actions have been taken.
04:10And people are now living in a threat.
04:13It is a big concern for the students also who live here in large numbers.
04:18They come here every year to prepare for UPSC examinations.
04:22Now, it's high time for the authorities to pull up their socks
04:25and ensure that actions are taken in the regard of this building.
04:30And this building should be brought down.
04:31So, as we can see, these are other alternate vehicles,
04:35the JCB and the crane that are moving out.
04:38This is the most clear view that I can bring to you from the location
04:41without hampering the rescue operation.
04:44So, my information is telling me that the last leg of the rescue operation is on.
04:49And that is the reason that the crane has moved out.
04:52And the last leg of rescue operation, which basically means the basement floor
04:57to where the debris had fallen, has been cleared.
05:01And that is what is happening.
05:03That is what the MCD vehicles are clearing for.
05:05One vehicle has left.
05:08That was the crane to be of any assistance.
05:11That job is done.
05:12And this is the last leg of operation right now.
05:15And we'll try and get you further understanding of that.
05:17The ITBP, the BSF, they're closing the scene.
05:20They're closing the location.
05:22This is, of course, as part of protocol that these ropes that are being tied
05:27to ensure that you cannot cross this, call it a crime scene, call it a situation of the incident.
05:34But we'll try and get more clarity.
05:36And the hope of survivors is reducing now.
05:41But we wouldn't want to lose hope.
05:43And I pray and I'm hopeful because I know many, many parents would be watching this right now.
05:48And I hope there will be more survivors who will be pulled out from this rubble as the last leg
05:53of operation that is on.
05:55Let's take a look at Piyush Mishra's ground report as more and more NDR of personnel are coming for the
06:01operation.
