1/7

Gurgaon roads turn into rivers

Torrential rain submerged roads and expressways, leaving commuters stuck for hours as Gurgaon’s fragile drainage collapsed once again.

2/7

Hefty fares for short trips

Stranded passengers paid up to ₹600 for a 6km e-rickshaw ride, calling it no less than a pricey boat ride through waterlogged streets.

3/7

Morning after turns silent

Offices switched to WFH and schools went online, leaving Gurgaon’s usually buzzing roads eerily quiet.

4/7

Hours-long jams test patience

Some journeys stretched to seven hours, yet a few drivers stayed calm and ensured their passengers got home safely.

5/7

Home treks take all night

Residents faced endless delays, some waiting five hours for rides; even big offers failed to lure drivers into flooded lanes.

6/7

Engines stall in deep waters

Bikes and cars broke down mid-road and were abandoned as floodwaters rose; many remained submerged until the next day.

7/7

Vehicles abandoned in floods

Many commuters abandoned stalled cars and bikes in waist-deep water, returning the next day to find vehicles half-submerged and damaged.
