The monsoon this year has caused severe waterlogging in many cities across the country like Jaipur, Mumbai and Delhi. Today, Gurugram (aka the Millenium City) was deluged by a continuous spell of rain. Many Twitter users shared the sorry state of affairs from some of the poshest areas in the city.

Prime real estate locations like Golf Course Road, Hero Honda Chowk, apartments in DLF Phase 5, etc were flooded highlighting issues with infrastructure and drainage systems. People also pointed out that buildings on Golf Course Road have homes for 14 crores (some go up to 27 crores).

Here are the visuals:

The Times of India quoted a resident saying, “The basement in our society was heavily flooded as rainwater came inside due to poor construction by the developer. We face the same issue almost every year but there hasn’t been any resolution.”

Hindustan Times reports several underpasses being flooded and traffic snarls due to waterlogging that made roads seem like rivers. Power outages were also reported in some parts of the city.

We hope the municipal corporation takes note of this and makes sure this doesn’t happen next year.
