Severe Flooding in Gurugram
Gurugram has been experiencing relentless rainfall over the past few days, leading to significant flooding and waterlogging. Residents are facing severe traffic congestion and submerged streets. A recent video that emerged online depicts the Rajiv Chowk underpass completely inundated, with children and teenagers treating it like a swimming pool. Social media users are criticizing local authorities for their inability to address waterlogging issues, despite substantial investments in construction and maintenance.
The alarming footage shows children and teenagers enjoying themselves in the flooded underpass, seemingly oblivious to the risks involved. This video has gone viral on social media, prompting widespread condemnation of the government for misleading the public about infrastructure improvements.
The clip was shared by @KishorJoshi02, who remarked: “This is the Rajiv Chowk underpass in Gurugram, where rainwater has accumulated. Built at a cost of crores of rupees, this underpass has now turned into a danger zone. It has become a swimming pool for children, who enter it while playing, which could lead to a major accident at any time.”
Another video highlights the significant amount of rainwater cascading onto vehicles at the Signature Tower Square underpass in Gurugram.
Additionally, a viral clip showcases a massive traffic jam at Iffco Chowk, shared on Instagram by @RajBabbar23. The caption states, “This picture of Iffco Chowk is from 8:30 pm last night. The same situation was seen at Hero Honda Chowk. There is no area left where the roads haven’t turned into ponds. # Gurugram’s neglect has made life hell. In the name of development, there are tall buildings, but the drains below are so poor that one rain floods the entire city. As usual, the government, ministers, and public representatives are hiding, unwilling to even talk about—let alone fix—the condition of our Millennium City.”
