Gurgaon Engineers Served Notices Over Waterlogging
Heavy rain caused severe waterlogging at Gulmohar Park in Gurgaon.
The waterlogging happened because motor pumps at the sump well weren't working.
These pumps needed electricity, but there was no connection.
The MCG commissioner issued notices to two engineers because of this.
A junior engineer was also suspended previously.
The engineers have three days to explain why the pumps weren't working.
If they don't respond, they will face further disciplinary action.
The main issue was the lack of an electricity supply for the pumps.
