Bunch of young corporates in Gurugram hired a mini truck to take them home! Not the safest option but at a time Uber/Ola/Rapido were not available (or too expensive) Someone commented ‘corporate mazdoors’ 🥲

The video sparked a flurry of reactions, with a user writing, “The citizens of this country work hard, it doesn’t matter if they pay tax directly or indirectly. Everyone pays their dues in some form or the other & look at the state of this country. Unbelievable.” Another user commented, “It’s time Ola/Uber/Rapido etc ,include motor boat services or cable car services in their itinerary ,maybe take it as a business proposition, think about it floks….we are waiting.”

“this service better than failed public transport n water logged roads . it is a city of corporate majdoor . needs to be renamed,” a third user reacted.

As the rains continued to wreak havoc, several commuters shared their struggles on social media. Some reported booking hotel rooms to skip the gridlocked roads, while others claimed they were stranded for hours with no way to get home.

Gurgaon Police issued a public advisory, confirming that more than 100 mm of rain had been recorded between 3 pm and 7 pm on Tuesday. Authorities urged corporate offices to allow employees to work from home and recommended that schools shift to online classes.
