Heavy rain inundates Gurugram, causes road cave-ins and traffic jams
Persistent heavy rainfall in Gurugram caused waterlogging, road cave-ins, and traffic disruptions. Schools shifted to online classes and companies asked employees to work from home.
Gurugram faced severe waterlogging on Tuesday after receiving about 70 mm of rainfall over a short span. The rain compounded problems from intense showers on Monday, leaving little time for the city to drain accumulated water. Intermittent rain through the day and a heavy bout in the evening worsened the situation.
Road cave-ins were reported at two locations, trapping the tyres of heavy vehicles and raising questions about road conditions and the drainage system. In response to a district administration advisory, schools across the city held online classes, and several companies instructed employees to work from home.
The flooding disrupted traffic, with unending jams reported in the city. Gurugram, described as the state's highest revenue generator, faced significant inconvenience due to the downpour.
