Most of the private coaching institutes of the capital are playing with the lives of the students in the name of improving their future. Narrow staircases to enter multi-storey buildings, small entry and exit routes, students crammed into small rooms are common conditions in these coaching institutes. In such a situation, a small spark can turn into a big accident. The Mukherjee Nagar accident is also an example of this. There was so much chaos in the coaching class just because of the smoke that the children were forced to come down from the fifth floor with the help of a rope to save their lives.
Local residents say that the accident happened in the Gyan Building, but there are many buildings of four-five storeys, which have only one door for entry and exit. At the entrance itself, electricity meter and wire mesh and hundreds of AC-coolers keep ringing alarm bells.
1000 students being taught simultaneously
Most of the class rooms in coaching centers are small. It has a seating capacity of 200-400 children, but more than 1000 children are being taught simultaneously. In the greed of money, the operators teach more and more children in a batch. Recently, Ajab Academy had also made a complaint about Christopher Phoenix Coaching Institute to the Prime Minister's Office. It has been said in the complaint letter that in every batch two thousand children are taught simultaneously. In such a situation, a big accident can happen at any time. Not only a short circuit, if an earthquake strikes, things can get worse.
