He told that there was “no rope, ladder or any other means of rescue in the basement, and Kannan started using the water hose as a rope”
Deendayal and Hari, who knew swimming, went back to the basement with the hose to search and rescue the trapped students.
The former said, “The electricity of the building had already been cut off due to the fear of a short circuit. And it was evening and the water was dirty, so there was little visibility. The furniture of the library was also floating. It was very difficult to find the trapped people.”
Hari said, “We tried much more than our capacity. But human efforts also have a limit. Even if we wanted, we were not able to help the other trapped people because we had no means except our courage.”
Rescue efforts delayed, teams ‘did not have required equipment’
By 7 pm, two or three police personnel from the local Karol Bagh Police Station arrived at the coaching institute, “someone from the management” had informed the police.
Hari said “We were trying to rescue the trapped students. One of the police persons showed great urgency and went inside the water with us, without any equipment. He helped rescue several trapped students. But soon the situation was beyond human control.”
Half an hour later, the Delhi Fire Service team arrived. “But they too were unable to help in evacuating the students as they did not have the necessary equipment to deal with the situation.”
The fire service team, which did not include any divers, did not venture into the waterlogged area “but immediately called for a pump and started to remove water from the basement”.
Kannan said, “The fire service arrived around 7:30 pm but they could not help us because divers were needed to deal with such a situation, which the fire service did not have.”
The NDRF team arrived on the spot about 40 minutes after the fire service team began its rescue efforts.
The NDRF divers went inside the area and soon found the three trapped students who had reportedly already died.
The NDRF operations continued till around 12 am.
The names of the students have been changed to protect their identity.

What happened in the Library of Rau's IAS on that doom's day.
This is an account of the incident provided by Survivors and eyewitnesses of the incident - All four students from Tamil Nadu – Kingsley Kanan (21), Vijay Kumar* (22), Deendayalan* (25) and Hari* (25).
First five minutes: ‘Water rose up to waist within seconds’
Around 6:50 pm, water from the road had begun filling up the basement. “It is very common for the basement to be filled with ankle-deep water during the rainy season” Kanan told.
About 10 minutes before the closing of the library at 7 pm, Kanan had packed his bags and walked upstairs to the parking lot.
About two minutes later, a black SUV passed the building, and more water rushed towards the coaching centre with double the force and broke the iron gate of the building. Then the water started entering the basement very fast.
The librarian soon began walking up to students, asking them to vacate the library as the basement was flooding.
At around 6:51 pm, he asked Vijay Kumar, who was sitting near the front door, to quickly vacate the library.
The library in the basement, about 60 feet in length and 30 feet in width, had two doors – one on the front-side and the other at the rear of the building.
He said “suddenly the water-level started rising rapidly. Within a few seconds, the water reached up to the waist. At that time, about 35 children were present in the library”.
Then panic struck the students. “As the water inflow increased, there was chaos. Everyone tried to get out through the front door,” said Kumar, adding that as the students rushed, a large toughened glass sheet kept near the door fell, and he too got injured.
Along with Kumar, about 20-25 other students also came out through the front door. “I somehow got out but about 11 students remained stuck behind me.” Deendayalan and Hari, at the rear portion of the library, were among those 11 students.
Deendayalan said, “The library is divided into compartments, when all this was happening near the front door, those at the back did not know anything. I could only hear the voice of the librarian, ‘Everyone quickly vacate the library, water is filling up.’
The student said even before he could pack his belongings, “the water-level reached up to his waist and he quickly ran towards the front door”. And as he tried to open the door against the force of the water, the 4-feet wide glass door broke.
Deendayalan then saw some students slipping into the water, down the stairs, towards the library door. “Some sharp parts of the broken glass door were jutting out. I began breaking them so others do not get injured. But before I could do it, the water level reached up to the neck.”
He said that “it was difficult to get out from the front door”, so they rushed to the door at the back-side. “But by then the water had risen considerably and the furniture had started floating. Some of us reached the back door with great difficulty.”
The next 20 minutes: ‘We wanted to rescue but had no means’
At around 6:55, Kannan saw his friends, Deendayal and Hari, struggling to climb the stairs that reached the back gate. He told, “Deendayal was pleading for help and kept saying that there were more people trapped downstairs and we had to get them out at any cost.”
Deendayal said that by the time he came out, “the entire basement was submerged in water. Since sewage water had also mixed with the rainwater, the water was stinking and made us feel suffocated. There was a burning sensation in our eyes. By then, the faculty, management and other staff present in the coaching centre also started trying to get the students out.”

Out of words for delhi. Refraining from any political comment, but what the hell is this situation. It's our national capital, No?
3 aspirants died studying,by drowning in drainage water , does someone know whom to blame & whom not.
Is it also responsibility of aspirants to make such arrangements for their living.
I can count a number of electric poles are there which is in contact of live wire, if something happens to someone who will take responsibility?
Is life that cheap here?
Aspirants, who have gathered in delhi in hope of serving this country someday, because they felt they would get better infrastructure and facilities to prepare for one of the toughest exam of Asia.
Who is responsible for this worst scenario for them?
The protest site has filled with water in just 30 mins, are you all fast asleep ,3 aspirants died at same place just before 3days.
What steps did you took? Are you all waiting for another life to lose?
Shame on everyone responsible for this pathetic situation, Wake up Delhi !
