On Friday morning, there was moderate rain in Delhi and Gurugram, causing waterlogging in several areas and leading to traffic jams. This week’s intense rains in Gurugram have sparked worries about the city’s infrastructure and the absence of solutions to the ongoing flooding and traffic issues.
In the Delhi-NCR till September 14, the India Meteorological Department has forecast fairly widespread light to moderate showers. A yellow alert was issued on Wednesday as a result of the rain’s significant disruptions to Gurugram and Delhi.
Visuals from Baprola show commuters fighting to get through flooded areas on their way to work or school. The rain has also caused significant damage to other areas like RK Puram, Munirka, Najafgarh road, Moti Bagh, etc.
Due to an inadequate drainage system, Gurugram came to a standstill on Wednesday. The commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram, Narhari Singh Bangar, told a reporter that the city’s infrastructure limitations needed to be addressed to solve the problems of waterlogging and traffic. He said, “While we have set up pumps and coordinated with traffic police to clear jams, the underlying drainage issues need more substantial long-term solutions.”
Over the weekend, a decrease in the intensity of the rain is expected. IMD officials said that due to the monsoon trough’s proximity to Delhi-NCR, the rain in both cities had picked up. The IMD claims that two cyclonic circulations over southeast Rajasthan and Haryana, along with a western disturbance, are also influencing the region’s rainfall patterns.
