Delhi-NCR received heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms, leading to waterlogging in several areas including Gurugram on Sunday. A plethora of chaotic videos from the region got the internet talking as residents expressed their disappointment over poor management during rain.

One of the viral videos captures the heavily flooded road near Golf Course. Several vehicles can be seen moving slowly amid the waterlogging while a few commuters can be seen walking through it. “This is the famous Golf Course Road of Gurgaon where a few months back a flat was sold for over Rs 100 crores. 99.5% of people in India cannot afford or even think of buying a property on this road. But this part of Gurgaon is no different from any area of the city,” a user wrote on X.


In another video, two men can be seen swimming through a flooded area in Gurugram.
