After heavy rainfall, Gurugram’s streets were submerged, forcing commuters to remove shoes and wade through waterlogged lanes.
Heavy rains over the weekend left Gurugram’s main roads and side lanes flooded, creating a scene of commuters stripping off shoes and stepping into waist‑deep water.
Video footage circulating online shows groups of people using only the narrow strip of footpath that remained dry, with some attempting to cross the waterlogged streets on makeshift rafts.
City officials have urged residents to avoid the affected areas and have deployed pumps to drain the accumulated water, but the drainage system has struggled to cope with the volume.
The incident has disrupted daily commutes, delayed public transport, and raised concerns about the city’s preparedness for sudden monsoon surges.
