00:00It never crossed our minds that water can be filled.
00:05It's wrong. It's against the rules.
00:06I apologize to the entire country and the entire society that yes, that was a mistake.
00:10It won't happen again.
00:15The children, the children are going through an emotional turbulence.
00:19The reason for their anger is that why am I not standing with them?
00:23I think the ceiling action took place at 50 Super Institutes.
00:26We have a name in that too.
00:28But maybe they had more hope than me, that's why they felt bad, they were hurt.
00:34The second question you have is that why did I not respond for so long?
00:38There are two reasons for this.
00:39One is my nature, because I am not very open and expressive in emotional matters.
00:47After the incident that happened three days ago,
00:49for the first time we realized that this can also happen somewhere.
00:53It never crossed our minds.
00:59We are very angry about the basement.
01:01It should be there.
01:03We agree that the basement should be sealed.
01:07But Delhi's metro runs in the basement, underground.
01:10Palika Bazar is in the basement.
01:12In almost every mall in Delhi, there are huge shopping complexes in the basement.
01:16Millions of people shop there.
01:19Because the basements there are made properly.
01:22And we got reassurance from the commercial mall that the basement is made in the same way.
01:29I am telling you again, on record, the layout structure of the basement has been submitted to the MCD.
01:40It has been submitted to the DDA.
01:42It has been submitted to the fire department for NOC, a few months ago.
01:46There has been no rejection from there yet.
01:48Despite this, after seeing the incident that happened in the last three days,
01:54I realize that it was carelessness.
01:57It never crossed our minds.
01:59Even if we get permission in the future, we will not work in the basement.
02:04I trust you on this.
02:05And I want that not a single coaching institute in Delhi should run in the basement.
02:09There was a mistake in understanding.
02:11I apologize to the entire country, to the entire society that yes, it was a mistake.
02:16It will not happen again.
02:19Whose fault is it?
02:22I think one flaw is that there is a lack of coordination between different laws and different agencies.
02:29Everyone's intentions are right.
02:31If there was a little coordination, like today's meeting, a very good proposal was given by a person,
02:38which was accepted by Mr. Ali Chaudhary.
02:39We all said, sir, make a committee where we sit and explain everything,
02:46then whatever you order, whatever rules you make,
02:50you just give us 10-15 days,
02:53close the rule that is not accepted.
02:55If you want to take responsibility for this incident, then I think the first problem is this one.
03:00Corruption is definitely there, there is nothing to say.
03:07There is the vice chairman of DDA, Mr. Shubhashish Panna.
03:12I spoke to him a few days ago, he himself gave me a proposal that if you think it is right
03:17that all the institutions should work together,
03:19then can we make a big hub of coaching in Narela?
03:22In today's meeting too, he put forward this proposal again.
03:26And almost this agreement was made that DDA should be in the Narela area,
03:30because there are thousands of flats there, which can become children's hostels.
03:33And the problem with hostels is that the children know that there are very small rooms.
03:36That is also solved there.
03:38So, it is possible that in the near future, you will see that Delhi,
03:42Vikas Pradhikaran, DDA, in Narela, or even after Rohini, they did it.
03:47And he also said that in some other areas too, they will try to see where such an arrangement can be made.
03:53So, it is possible that the Delhi government will take a big step on this.
03:55And if this happens, then I think the institutes should move forward and support the government.
04:02I would like to say to the parents that when they come to Delhi,
04:08whether they come to us or go anywhere,
04:11just don't look at how good the institute is, how good the teachers are.
04:17Also, look at how many safety provisions are there.
04:21Go and see for yourself. Go and see in the classroom.
04:24In the classroom where there are no two ways to get out of the building,
04:28more than two or two, you should not go to the classroom.
04:32If it is ours, then we should not have it either.
