When the MCD didn't respond, he filed a complaint again on July 15 and July 22 and stated that it was an "urgent issue" and "immediate action" was required. However, the civic body failed to take any action.
In the wake of the deadly flooding incident, the MCD on Sunday sealed 13 coaching centres in the Old Rajinder Nagar area that were found violating rules.
Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi told media that a team from the civic body conducted searches at several coaching centres in the area and sealed institutes that were running “commercial activities”
