The Delhi High Court (HC) on Wednesday pulled up authorities over the deaths of three Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) aspirants who drowned in the basement of a coaching centre and stated that such tragedies are bound to happen when there is no collection of taxes owing to a "freebies culture".
"Your authorities are bankrupt. If you don`t have money to pay salaries, how will you upgrade the infrastructure? There is a need to revamp the infrastructure. You want to have freebies culture; you don`t want to collect taxes. You are not collecting any money, so you are not spending any money... the tragedy was bound to happen," the bench said.
