CM Rekha Gupta
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday warned that coaching centres which fail to comply with mandatory safety norms will no longer be permitted to operate in Delhi.
In a video message, Gupta said the Delhi government will soon introduce a robust regulatory law to ensure stricter oversight, greater accountability, and enhanced student safety.
“One month. There is a time of one month, get all the safety regulations. All the coaching institutes running in Delhi, be it 900 or 1000, the number doesn’t matter, what matters is the lives of the children studying there, their safety and security,” she said.
Students are encouraged to report any negligence or lack of safety measures in their coaching centres via email, message, or phone, the chief minister added.
The decision has come in the wake of frequent fire incidents and the recent Lucknow coaching centre fire that claimed the lives of 15 people.
Earlier this week, Delhi education minister Ashish Sood also ordered a citywide safety crackdown on coaching centres and said that a robust regulatory framework for such establishments is under preparation.
