Severe rainfall over the weekend caused extensive flooding and traffic disruptions in Delhi-NCR, particularly affecting key routes like the Gurugram-Delhi Expressway and several subways. The unexpected downpour, which surpassed the India Meteorological Department's forecast, led to waterlogging and vehicle breakdowns, with tragic incidents including the drowning of two children in Delhi's Prem Nagar area. Visuals of flooded roads and waist-high water in posh areas of Gurugram went viral on social media, sparking criticism of the city's drainage infrastructure. The IMD issued an 'orange alert' for the region, advising residents to stay indoors and highlighting the area's fragile civic infrastructure. Authorities in both Delhi and Gurugram are working to address waterlogging issues with measures like deploying water pumps and clearing blockages.
