Vikas Divyakirti, founder Drishti IAS Tuesday broke his silence about deaths of 3 UPSC aspirants in Delhi Old Rajendra Nagar. Speaking with news agency ANI he said, 'the kind of effort we put in the matter of building safety norms, I am sure that you will not find it anywhere. We appointed a divisional head rank officer 1.5 years ago, who only looks after the safety of the building. In January 2023, we created a WhatsApp group, I am its member, the work of that group is to check 16 points whether the doors are open, the fire exit is clear, there is no obstruction on it, the roof doors are open so that in case of an emergency, students can be taken out. These 16 points are checked daily...I would like you to get a chance if you can do a survey, go to any of our branches in Delhi or outside Delhi, if any building does not have at least 2 exits, then I am responsible. We do not take such buildings on rent which do not have fire exits...Only so that under no circumstances the life of any child or staff is compromised. This is our intention. I made a mistake in understanding, I apologize to the entire country, the entire society that a mistake was made, that the mistake should not be repeated in future.'---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sir, For the safety of everyone in your institute, please ensure the following measures are strictly followed: 1. Conduct regular mock drills. 2. Ensure all students undergo safety induction. 3. Familiarize all students with the emergency procedures. 4. Ensure the number of students does not exceed the classroom capacity. Thank you for your understanding & compliance. Jay Hind Alam - Qatar

    When you will give coaching teachers that much limelight then coaching is destined to become dirty industry.
