Gurgaon: Visuals of traffic jams, submerged roads and underpasses, and a boat moving on a waterlogged road emerged from Gurgaon after the Haryana city - which houses plush buildings belonging to leading multi-national companies and sprawling shopping malls – was completely paralysed by heavy rains.
Cars and other vehicles were seen crawling on roads filled with water, exposing the city's lack of planning to deal with monsoon.
The most astonishing visual of waterlogging emerged from the streets near DLF Cyber City - where scores of companies have their offices. The entire area is seen submerged in muddied water as people and vehicles wade through.
At Sohna road, a group of men was seen moving on a motorized raft on a waterlogged road.
Several of underpasses in Gurgaon were completely submerged, forming deep pools of water.
Waterlogging was also reported near Unitech Cyber Park, the traffic police said.
