Heavy rain has caused widespread waterlogging in Gurugram, leading to a standstill in traffic and stranded school buses. Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh, who was previously a Congress leader, criticized the current administration for implementing "temporary solutions" to a problem that began during the Congress era. He proposed constructing underground tunnels as a permanent solution to restore the natural flow of water in the city, which lies in a natural basin and is prone to flooding due to rapid urbanization and construction over traditional drainage channels. The Congress party has accused the BJP government of neglecting Gurugram's infrastructure despite spending Rs 1,400 crore on improvements. The city faces continued waterlogging during the monsoon season, despite the installation of 408 rainwater harvesting systems in areas under the municipal corporation.
