Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi directed the MCD Commissioner to promptly address all coaching centers in Delhi operating commercial activities in basements, as these violate building bye-laws and regulations.
Students in Old Rajender Nagar, West Delhi, staged a protest against the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the management of the coaching institute.
