Gurgaon Implements New Drainage Projects to Address Monsoon Flooding
Gurgaon faces annual monsoon flooding due to its topography and rapid urbanization, causing key roads like Hero Honda Chowk and NH-48 to flood. To address this, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has implemented a Rs 105-crore, 4.3-km Leg-4 stormwater drain to divert excess rainwater from the overloaded Badshahpur drain. Additionally, GMDA introduced cross-connections between surface and stormwater drains and new water chutes along critical corridors to improve drainage and reduce waterlogging during heavy rains.
