A political row erupted over the persistent waterlogging issue in Gurugram, as four-term MP Rao Inderjit Singh accused current measures of being temporary solutions for problems initiated during the Congress administration. The Congress, on the other hand, criticized the city's infrastructure collapse despite significant investments in recent years. Singh, who was initially a Congress leader when he became Gurugram's MP in 2009, now blames the waterlogging on development over traditional drains dating back to the Congress era. He proposed constructing underground tunnels similar to those built for the Metro as the only permanent solution. The city has been grappling with waterlogging during heavy rainfall, resulting in traffic disruptions and stranded school buses. Notably, Gurugram's vulnerable position to flooding is due to rapid urbanization and construction over traditional drainage channels. The Congress General Secretary, Randeep Singh Surjewala, criticized the Haryana Chief Minister for failing to address the issue despite substantial spending. Despite installing 408 rainwater harvesting systems in municipal areas, Gurugram continues to face severe waterlogging during monsoons.
