Heavy rainfall in Gurugram provided much-needed relief from the scorching heat, but it also led to widespread waterlogging in several parts of the city. The downpour, which was predicted by the Meteorological Department, started early in the morning and continued throughout the day, causing significant disruptions in daily life.
Waterlogging was particularly severe in Sectors 9, 4, 7, and 10, as well as the adjoining areas. Roads were submerged under several inches of water, making it difficult for vehicles and pedestrians to navigate. The traffic movement was severely impacted, with many commuters facing delays.
Residents expressed frustration over the inadequate drainage system, which has long been a problem during the monsoon season. “Every year, we face the same issue. The authorities need to take stronger measures to address waterlogging,” said a local resident.
The rain brought some relief from the heat, with temperatures dropping significantly, but the accompanying waterlogging posed challenges for residents and commuters alike. The Meteorological Department has predicted more showers in the coming days, raising concerns about further waterlogging in vulnerable areas.
Authorities have deployed teams to pump out water from the affected areas, but the situation remains challenging. Residents are advised to avoid waterlogged areas and take necessary precautions.
As the city grapples with the dual impact of relief and disruption, the focus now shifts to how quickly the authorities can mitigate the situation and restore normalcy.
