Heavy Rain Causes Waterlogging, Traffic Disruptions and School Bus Stranding in Gurugram
Heavy rainfall of around 70 mm in Gurugram on August 24 caused severe waterlogging across key areas including Rajiv Chowk, IFFCO Chowk, Sohna Road, and Golf Course Road, leading to major traffic disruptions. School buses and ambulances were stranded for hours, with children left waiting on buses. The administration advised work-from-home and online classes on August 25 to ease congestion and facilitate repairs. Despite significant investments in drainage infrastructure, recurring floods highlight ongoing challenges due to the city's low-lying terrain and rapid urbanization.
