AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak Wades Through Knee-Deep Water in Old Rajinder Nagar | VIDEO

New Delhi: AAP MLA from Delhi's Rajinder Nagar area Durgesh Pathak along with the MCD team, on Wednesday, arrived at the water logging spot of the area.

Pathak, in a video, could be seen wading through the severely waterlogged streets of the area to take stock of the situation after heavy rains lashed Delhi-NCR on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has summoned Pathak over the incident where three students, including two women, lost their lives due to flooding in the basement of a coaching centre in the area.

The NCW, in a post, said it has taken cognizance of the coaching centre incident where three students died in the Old Rajinder Nagar area of the national capital.

"Allegations of ignored appeals for drain cleaning are concerning. A hearing is scheduled on 02.08.2024 at 12:30 pm. Notice has been given and Durgesh Pathak, MLA Rajinder Nagar, has been directed to appear in person. Non-compliance will result in appropriate action," it said.

The civil services aspirants -- two females and a male -- died on Saturday evening as they were trapped inside the library running in the basement of Old Rajinder Nagar-based Rau's IAS Study Circle, which was flooded due to rain. 

Hundreds of students continued to protest over the deaths of three  USPC aspirants in Old Rajinder Nagar despite waterlogged streets.
