On Friday, the Delhi High Court took a significant step by transferring the investigation into the deaths of three UPSC aspirants to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The tragic incident occurred last Saturday at Rau’s IAS Circle coaching centre in Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar area, where the basement of the centre flooded due to heavy rainfall, leading to the drowning of the aspirants.

The high court’s intervention highlights a broader concern regarding Delhi's infrastructure. The court noted that Delhi's physical, financial, and administrative infrastructure are outdated and inadequate for the city's needs. With a population exceeding 3 crore, Delhi faces significant challenges in managing its growth and ensuring efficient governance. The court remarked, "Delhi is going from one crisis to another," pointing to recurring issues such as droughts and floods. It emphasized that improved water storage and better infrastructure planning are crucial to mitigate these problems.

Delhi's infrastructure issues have been exacerbated by the recent floods, which revealed severe shortcomings in the city's drainage system. The high court criticized the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for its dysfunctional stormwater drains, which have been encroached upon by local shopkeepers and residents. The MCD Commissioner was ordered to ensure that drains are operational and to consider systematic increases in capacity where necessary.

The court’s remarks underscore the urgent need for modernizing Delhi’s infrastructure to handle its growing population and prevent future crises. By transferring the probe into the UPSC aspirants' deaths to the CBI, the court aims to ensure a thorough and impartial investigation into the incident, which has sparked public outcry and raised questions about the safety standards at educational institutions.

As Delhi grapples with these issues, the court’s orders reflect a growing demand for comprehensive reforms in the city’s infrastructure and administrative practices. The focus now shifts to the CBI’s investigation and the MCD’s efforts to address the drainage problems and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
