Lucknow Tragedy Underlines Indifference to Fire Safety in Student Hubs
Fifteen deaths in Aliganj must force a nationwide audit of coaching institutes The fire at a coaching institute in Lucknows Aliganj area yesterday, which has claimed at least 15 young lives, is not just an accident; it is an indictment. A place that should have been a sanctuary of learning turned, within minutes, into a suffocating chamber of death. Most of the victims, doctors say, died not from burns but from suffocation, gasping for air in a building that appears to have been woefully unprepared for the very possibility of a fire. The details emerging from King George Medical University are chilling. Fifteen bodies arrived at the hospital already lifeless. Several others were brought in with injuries, one young man battling a spinal trauma after a desperate attempt to escape, a young woman with leg injuries, and others in shock. Most of them were in their mid-twenties, just stepping into adulthood, their futures abruptly extinguished in a cloud of smoke. The responses from the highest levels of government have been swift. The Prime Minister has conveyed grief and sanctioned ex-gratia relief from the PMNRF; the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister rushed back to Lucknow, visited the site, and ordered an inquiry. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has also expressed his condolences. These gestures of sympathy and financial support are important, but they do not answer the questions that haunt this tragedy. Why, in 2026, do we still allow buildings frequented by children and youth to operate without robust fire safety systems, clear evacuation routes, and regular inspections? How many more such fires in coaching centres, hospitals, markets, and schools must we witness before enforcement becomes as serious as the rhetoric that follows every disaster? This incident once again exposes the dangerous nexus of lax regulation, official apathy, and private negligence. Coaching institutes, libraries, and training centres across the country have mushroomed in cramped urban spaces, often without adherence to basic safety norms. Staircases become choke points, exits are blocked, electrical wiring is overloaded, and fire extinguishers, if present at all, are rarely functional or accessible. The Uttar Pradesh government has ordered a high-level probe and promised strict action against those found guilty. That process must not be reduced to a familiar blame game that ends with a few low-level arrests and routine suspensions. Accountability must climb the chain, from the building owners and managers to the officials responsible for issuing and renewing clearances. Every lapse documented by the inquiry should translate into criminal liability, not just administrative censure. More importantly, this tragedy must serve as a turning point for policy. Fire safety audits of all coaching centres and educational institutions must be mandated and time-bound. Compliance reports should be placed in the public domain so parents and students can make informed choices. Municipal bodies and fire services must be empowered and compelled to shut down non-compliant establishments, however influential their owners may be. The young who died in Aliganj did not perish in a freak event; they were failed by a system that treats safety as an afterthought. To honour their memory, the country must move beyond condolences and compensation, and finally make the right to a safe place of learning non-negotiable.

The structure, originally residential and later converted for commercial use, lacked proper evacuation routes, trapping students and employees amidst rapidly spreading flames and accumulating smoke.
NIT Srinagar hosts seminar on future of Indias power sector
Srinagar, Jun 22: Under the Alumni Back to Classroom (ABC) initiative, Dean Alumni and International Affairs, National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar, on Monday, organized a seminar titled The Power Sector in India: Addressing Emerging Challenges in the Power Sector, Sustainable Energy Development, Loss Minimization, Workforce Adequacy with Special Reference to the J&K System. The event was held at Hi-Tech 5 and brought together alumni, faculty members, engineers, and students for an in-depth discussion on Indias evolving power sector and the specific challenges faced by Jammu and Kashmir. The event was presided over by Mrs. Rao, Former Professor of Delhi University, and coordinated by Dr. H. S. Pali (Civil Eng, NIT Srinagar.) The first technical session was delivered by Er. K. Ashok Rao, an alumnus from the early batches of NIT Srinagar. Recalling the Institutions early years in the 1960s, Er Rao highlighted the challenges students faced due to limited laboratory infrastructure, forcing them to travel to other institutions such as Thapar University for practical training. He traced the evolution of Indias power sector from conventional fossil-fuel-based steam generation to modern and diversified energy systems. Er Rao also discussed the limitations of early solar-thermal technologies and stressed the importance of achieving energy self-sufficiency in India. The second technical session was presented by Er. Peerzada Hidayatullah, Assistant Engineer, JKPDD, and Vice Chairman of AIPEF, who focused on the power sector challenges in Jammu and Kashmir. He outlined the historical growth of the J&K Power Development Department and highlighted major achievements in electricity infrastructure expansion from 1988 to 2026, including the electrification of far-flung areas such as Ladakh and Kargil. Er Hidayatullah said that Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses in Jammu and Kashmir have reduced substantially from nearly 7580 percent in 1988 to around 3035 percent in 2026. He also spoke about expanding transformer capacity, increasing solar power integration, and sustaining engineering efforts to curb power theft. Earlier, Dean AIA, Prof. M. A. Shah said that energy demand in the coming decade is expected to rise significantly, making discussions on sustainable energy and power-sector reforms highly relevant for students, engineers, and policymakers alike. He emphasized the importance of strengthening alumni engagement with the institute, stating that initiatives like ABC help reconnect former students with their alma mater and create opportunities for mentorship, professional guidance, and career growth for current students, especially those from modest backgrounds. In his message, Director NIT Srinagar, Prof. Binod Kumar Kanaujia, said that the power sector is undergoing a transformational phase driven by technological advancements, renewable energy integration and rising energy demand. He said academic institutions like NIT Srinagar have a crucial role in preparing future engineers to address challenges related to sustainability, grid resilience, and energy efficiency. Registrar Prof. Atikur Rehman emphasized the importance of industry-academia collaboration in addressing real-world challenges in critical sectors such as power and energy. He lauded the efforts of the Dean Alumni and International Affairs office for organizing impactful academic interactions under the ABC initiative. A documentary on the first Electrical Power Station of Mohra was also screened during the event. On behalf of the Alumni Association, Er. Farhan Manzoor felicitated dozens of Electrical Engineers, including Gold Medalist Er. Hurayasrab (AEE). During the programme, Mr Anand Prakash (Physics)- shared his inspiring journey from Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, to NIT Srinagar, highlighting how education transformed his life and enabled upward social mobility. The guest speakers, including Er. K. Ashok Rao, Er. Peerzada Hidayatullah and other engineers from JKPDD were felicitated by Prof. M. A. Shah for their valuable contributions. The event was efficiently hosted and coordinated by Aswa Shah, Masters Intern, who conducted the proceedings and presented a formal vote of thanks to dignitaries. Students from Crescent Public School, G.D. Goenka, Green Valley, and Kashmir Harvard also attended the seminar.
