Gurugram Waterlogging Sparks Debate Over Causes and Solutions
Gurugram faces severe waterlogging due to construction over traditional drainage routes from the Aravalli hills to the Yamuna. BJP MP Rao Inderjit Singh attributes the problem to development during the Congress era and calls current measures temporary, proposing underground tunnels as a permanent solution. Congress leaders counter that the BJP has governed for over a decade without resolving the issue. Officials acknowledge infrastructure challenges amid rapid urban growth and ongoing efforts to address drainage problems.
