No new Gurgaon needed; make the existing Gurgaon actually work

No new Gurgaon needed; make the existing Gurgaon actually work

Gurgaon is a big city in India with tall offices, fancy homes, and lots of companies.

Every year, when the rainy season comes, the streets fill up with water.

Cars get stuck, and people cannot reach their offices.

This has been happening for a very long time.

The city has beautiful buildings, but the drains and roads underneath do not work well.

Because of the floods, businesses lose time and money.

Gurgaon gives a lot of tax money to the government, so this problem is important.

The problem is that many different people are in charge, so no one is fully responsible.

The writer says one person should be in charge of fixing the city's roads and drains.

We don't need a new city — we need to make the one we have work properly.
