After the death of three UPSC candidates in a renowned coaching institute, students have opened a front against the responsible agencies including MCD, Delhi Government, Delhi Fire Service. When candles are lit in the evening in the area, there is a gathering of students outside the Rajendra Nagar coaching center from morning till afternoon. To sharpen their fight, students have formed various groups on social media and more than 5000 members have joined each.
Groups have been formed on WhatsApp and Telegram in the name of UPSC students Union, United UPSC students, ORN protest volunteers, which are the biggest weapon in the fight. ORN protest volunteer Himanshu is a student of Vajirao but after the incident, he sat at the protest site and is demanding a compensation of Rs 5 crore for the families of the victim children. Rajat, a candidate preparing for UPSC, says that most of the students have joined the WhatsApp group and will remain on strike until their demands are met.

ABVP supports the agitating students, demands audit of coachings
At the same time, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad held a press conference and said that what is the reason why there is no control on the fees of coaching institutes. The ratio of male students to female students is irregular. For this, it is necessary that some regulatory body should be formed so that every coaching can be audited. Action should also be taken against coaching owners. There is a need to accept the government which talks about making Delhi Paris. ABVP media coordinator Ashutosh says that Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad is demanding action against the coaching mafia.
