Gurgaon’s readiness to face monsoons has been called into question, yet again.

After experiencing heavy rain at about 1 pm today, Golf Course Road and the surrounding areas experienced massive waterlogging and long traffic hold-ups.  

There’s water on both sides of Golf Course Road and the nearby sectors of 50, 49, 46, 45 and 38 have been badly affected.

Though the rains brought down the temperature from 37°C to 31°C, spelling temporary respite for residents, the jams that followed caused major inconvenience to the commuters.

At some junctions, owing to malfunctioning traffic lights, the police had to manage the jams manually.

“I was travelling to reach Sector 14 from Rosewood City and it took me one-and-a-half hours to reach my destination — that too, in the non-peak hours,” complained Neha Garg, a commuter.

At several places, there was no drainage in place for the excess water to flow out.  Almost three cars broke down outside Sector 45, as they could not move out of the water.

Near South City I and II, commuters on two-wheelers stopped mid-way and waited for the rains to ebb out. The rain-filled potholes were difficult to pot on this stretch.  

“I was travelling to Banni Square, and was astonished by the huge amount of water on the roads. It took me more than an hour to reach the place from South City I,” recounted Suresh Kadian, a resident of South City I.

“I dread the rains even in this heat. Gurgaon’s infrastructure is just not ready for it. In just an hour, the road outside St Xavier’s High School has turned into a river. There are crater-sized potholes on the road, and it’s an ordeal to walk or drive on these roads,” complained Ruchi Verma, Escape Condominium

Thankfully, no traffic snarls were reported from Signature Tower, Rajeev Chowk, Sukhrali, Iffco Chowk and Bakhtwar Chowk.
