A sudden downpour that lasted just 30 minutes turned a posh residential area in Gurgaon into a virtual sea, leaving residents of high-end apartments with “sea-facing” homes. The heavy rainfall overwhelmed the city’s drainage system, causing widespread flooding and waterlogging in several parts of the city.
The sudden deluge overwhelmed the city’s drainage system, causing waterlogging and flooding in several areas. The Golf Course Road, known for its high-rise buildings such as DLF Camellias and DLF Magnolias and its upscale lifestyle, was particularly hard hit. The heavy rainfall led to water levels rising rapidly, inundating the streets and basement parking areas of many residential complexes.
Residents of the affected apartments were shocked and dismayed to find their homes flooded. Many had to be evacuated from their flooded units, leaving behind their belongings. The situation was particularly dire for those living on the lower floors, whose apartments were completely submerged.
Anushri Pawar, the former Meta employee, shared a video on X (previously known as Twitter), highlighting a difficult situation. The video, which quickly went viral, showed waterlogged streets outside high-rise apartments, where luxury cars struggled to make their way through the flooded roads.
“What should we call this? River Facing or Sea Facing? This is the condition of Roads in front of Rs 100 crore Camellias and Magnolias at the Golf Course Road in Gurgaon,” Pawar wrote sarcastically.
The video shared by Anushri Pawar struck a chord with many residents across Delhi NCR, leading to numerous reactions on social media. Some were shocked, while others compared Gurugram’s infrastructure to other cities. A Noida resident commented, “Never seen this in Noida. My place is amazing.”
Another user highlighted the broader issue, saying, “This waterlogging is due to poor city infrastructure and the lack of a proper drainage system.”
Many others also shared videos of waterlogged streets from their neighborhoods.
