Gurugram waterlogging sparks outrage; Residents, Opposition question government and MP
Videos and photographs of school buses stranded near Subhash Chowk, with children reportedly stuck inside for hours, went viral on social media, triggering widespread anger among residents.
Heavy rain in Gurugram caused widespread waterlogging and traffic jams, leaving residents and Opposition leaders outraged over the government's response. Photos and videos of stranded school buses near Subhash Chowk, with children stuck inside for hours, sparked widespread anger on social media. IT professional Arun Mathuria expressed frustration, questioning the value of expensive properties in the city when basic infrastructure is neglected.
Krishan Jeena sarcastically asked, "Gurgaon after 10 minutes of rain: Boat kaha milegi?" (Where is the boat in Gurugram after 10 minutes of rain?). Neha, a 17-year resident, described the situation as a "moment of grief and sheer helplessness." Former MP Brijendra Singh criticized the Haryana Chief Minister and alleged that despite Gurugram being a major city, the infrastructure remains poor.
Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda pointed out the city's high property prices and demanded better allocation of funds for drainage infrastructure. Congress leader Sheilza Bhatia questioned why the same problems occur every year and sought a statement from Gurugram MP Rao Inderjit Singh, who had not addressed the crisis. Former Congress MLA Chiranjeev also criticized the MP for his silence, contrasting it with his own complaints about being humiliated.
