In a stern response to the recent deaths of UPSC aspirants, the Delhi Mayor has announced a stringent crackdown on illegal coaching centres across the city. Addressing the public and media, the Mayor emphasized that no illegal centre will be spared in this drive to protect the lives and futures of young students.
The deaths of the aspirants, which have sent shockwaves through the community, have highlighted the urgent need for regulatory oversight in the burgeoning coaching industry. Many students, driven by the dream of clearing the UPSC exams, enrol in these institutions, often unaware of their legal status and safety standards.
“We cannot allow the dreams of our youth to be jeopardized by the negligence and greed of a few,” the Mayor stated firmly. “Every centre operating without proper licenses and safety measures will be identified and shut down. Our priority is the safety and well-being of our students.”
The Mayor also called upon parents and students to remain vigilant and report any suspicious or unregulated centres. In addition, a special task force will be established to conduct thorough inspections and ensure compliance with all educational and safety regulations.
This announcement has been met with a mix of relief and concern among the student community. While many applaud the initiative, others worry about the disruption it may cause to their ongoing preparations. Authorities have assured that legitimate centres will continue to operate and that the focus is solely on unlicensed and unsafe establishments.
The tragic incident has also prompted calls for better mental health support for students, who often face immense pressure during their preparation. The Mayor acknowledged this need and announced plans to integrate mental health resources into the educational framework.
As Delhi embarks on this rigorous campaign, the message is clear: the safety of students will not be compromised, and accountability will be enforced.
