Jaipur: Expressing concern over the suspected gas leak in a coaching institute in Jaipur on Sunday in which many students fell ill and of them 10 had to be hospitalised in critical condition, former Chief Minister and veteran Congress leader Ashok Gehlot said such incidents can happen anytime as coaching institutes intake students beyond their accommodating capacity.
He also said during the Congress regime a detailed guideline was issued for coaching centres and Pratap Nagar was thoughtfully set up as a coaching hub to avoid crowded areas.
"The accident that happened at a coaching institute in Jaipur last night is worrying. I wish for the speedy recovery of the students injured in this accident. Such accidents can take a bigger form in coaching institutes' anytime because more students are taught here than the capacity, which is not appropriate. During our government, detailed guidelines were issued for coaching institutes and a coaching hub was thoughtfully created in Pratap Nagar for a good environment instead of crowded areas. It is the responsibility of the present state government to implement the guidelines made for the proper management of coaching institutes and ensure immediately that all the coaching institutes are shifted to the coaching hubs created by the previous government," a translated version of his X post in Hindi reads.

You are not learning a lesson from this either. Children who are dying by suicide inside out of depression. It seems these people have colluded with the coaching mafias as no stern action is being taken against them".

The government should conduct an impartial probe into the matter and ensure strict compliance with the guidelines and safety standards for coaching institutes.

Taking to X, former Deputy Chief Minister and Congress general secretary Sachin Pilot wrote,"Due to gas leakage in a coaching institute in Jaipur, many students fell unconscious due to ill health. This is a very worrying incident and it should be investigated. Students from far-flung areas come to the city to study and if something untoward happens due to non-compliance of safety rules, then who is responsible for it? I demand from the state government that this accident be investigated thoroughly and strict action be taken against those who were negligent. Along with this, the government should issue safety rules for all coaching institutes and ensure their strict compliance so that such incidents do not happen in future. I pray that God keeps all the students safe".
