One Hour of Rain Exposes Gurugram’s Civic Infrastructure

One Hour of Rain Exposes Gurugram’s Civic Infrastructure

Gurugram received heavy rain for about one hour.

The rain filled many roads with water.

Some roads became difficult and dangerous to cross because potholes and manholes were hidden.

Cars stopped working, while some people had to push their scooters and motorcycles.

Students walked carefully and moved to raised places such as bus stops.

Traffic became very slow on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway.

Several important roads and neighborhoods were badly flooded.

The administration announced work-from-home measures to help manage the situation.

Residents said the same drainage problems happen again whenever it rains heavily.
