Heavy rain in Delhi-NCR on Monday brought Gurugram to a standstill. Waterlogging caused massive traffic jams on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, with queues stretching for nearly 20 kilometres. The traffic police received about 200 distress calls as vehicles broke down and commuters sought help. Videos on social media showed endless rows of stranded cars. Congestion was also reported at Rajiv Chowk, Golf Course Road, and other key routes. The IMD issued an orange alert, warning of more rain. Schools were ordered shut, and offices advised work-from-home. Opposition leaders slammed the government, calling it a “failure of planning."
