Gurugram Waterlogging Sparks Debate Over Infrastructure and Accountability
Gurugram faces recurring waterlogging due to construction over traditional drainage channels, a problem highlighted by BJP MP Rao Inderjit Singh, who blames Congress-era development and proposes underground tunnels as a permanent solution. Critics, including Congress leaders and former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, counter that BJP's long tenure has failed to address the issue effectively. Officials acknowledge ongoing efforts but describe current measures as temporary, with calls for comprehensive planning involving technical experts to resolve the crisis.
