Heavy rain lashed the Delhi-NCR region on Wednesday evening, leading to severe waterlogging in parts of the national capital and Gurgaon. Videos showing flooded roads, stranded vehicles and residents wading through knee-deep water have gone viral on social media. In one such clip, vehicles, including an electric rickshaw, are seen stuck in a flood-like situation, while two-wheeler riders struggle to push their bikes through the inundated streets. Sharing a video from Gurgaon’s Golf Course Road, journalist Sumedha Sharma wrote, “For the unversed, this is the very road where apartments are sold for over 100 crores. #GurgaonRains turns Golf Course Road into a river. Venice vibes and doorstep thrill surely deserve this price. The #LuxuryLiving hub.” For the unversed this is very road where apartments are sold for over 100 crores. #GurgaonRains turns Golf course road into river.
