Videos: Waterlogging, Traffic Jams In Gurugram After Heavy Rain

The monsoon story that has been plaguing the people of Gurugram for years repeated on Tuesday, with rainfall triggering waterlogging and traffic jams in the city.Videos circulating on social media show traffic moving at a snail's pace amid pools of water on streets.More than 50 areas across the city turned into waterlogged pools following the rain.Traffic moved very slowly between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bhardwaj Chowk because of one-and-a-half feet of waterlogging.Traffic jams were also observed on service lanes of the Daulatabad flyover on the Dwarka Expressway due to waterlogging on both sides, reported PTI.The remarkable thing about @NayabSainiBJP is his consistency and his ability to never disappoint: here are some wonderful scenes of Gurgaon today! Well done Saini and those brilliant people at @DC_Gurugram : I guess even shame is now afloat! @gurgaon_live pic.twitter.com/4bIplhwimh - SUHEL SETH (@Suhelseth) July 28, 2026Water levels rose to around two feet on Chauma Road in Rajendra Park.
