Cars as far as the eye can see: Viral video shows Gurgaon's jam-packed roads, internet says ‘better than Bengaluru'
'Ab fark nahi padta (It doesn't matter anymore),' Instagram user Ankit Tiwari wrote while posting the video.
The footage shows hundreds of cars across a stretch of highway in Gurgaon. The cars move slowly, navigating through the traffic.
Take a look at the video:
What did social media say?
'After some point, adding lanes is not the solution,' an individual posted, referencing how all the lanes in the video are packed with cars. Another added, 'Thodi barish aur ho jaye... phir dekho jaam.' Last week, heavy rainfall in different parts of Gurgaon caused severe waterlogging. A few residents claimed they came home to find water inside their apartments. Visuals of cars trying to cross water-filled roads also made their way to social media.
'The problem is that people made this norm. No one's complaining,' a third expressed. A fourth wrote, 'Still better than Bangalore!!'
Traffic woes in Gurgaon:
The heavy rainfall that lashed Gurgaon a few days ago caused severe damage to certain roads in the city. Two key roads of the region, maintained by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), formed potholes and cracks following the downpour. It triggered congestion and left commuters frustrated.
'Vehicles can't move at more than 10 kmph on this road, and this has led to heavy congestion since the road got damaged. We are trying to manage the situation, but the road needs immediate repair,' a traffic police told HT.com.
A resident who has a shop in Sector 22 shared how damages to Major Sushil Aima Road, which connects Palam Vihar with Old Delhi Road and links Old Gurugram to Dwarka Expressway, affected daily life. 'Around half a kilometre of this road from Sector 22 market to the petrol pump is badly damaged. The drain has not been cleared in 10 years, but no corrective measures have been taken.'

Lewis Hamilton reunites with former engineer to address performance issues at Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton (Image credit: Instagram) Lewis Hamilton's struggles at Ferrari since his move to the Italian team continue to impact both his image and performance in Formula 1. His confusing radio exchanges with his race engineer during races had caught the attention of many, suggesting that communication between the two was less than ideal. Now, Hamilton has reportedly been assigned a new race engineer — someone he has worked with before. Lewis Hamilton gets new race engineer he has worked before According to a report by The Mirror, Ferrari has hired a new race engineer who has previously worked with Lewis Hamilton. However, it is not clear whether the engineer is someone Hamilton collaborated with during his time at Mercedes. The report also claims that Riccardo Adami — the Ferrari engineer who came under scrutiny for unclear radio communication with Hamilton — continues to remain in his role. Lewis Hamilton's performance at Belgian Grand Prix Questions persist about Hamilton's performance at Ferrari, especially as his teammate Charles Leclerc secured third place on the podium at the Belgian Grand Prix — his fifth podium of the season. Hamilton had a disappointing outing at the Belgian Grand Prix, getting eliminated in Q1 ahead of both the F1 Sprint and the main race. He eventually finished seventh in the Sunday race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. He wrote in his latest Instagram post after the Belgium race, "Pit lane to P7 - We were faced with some difficult moments so to finish on a high note gives me real confidence heading into Budapest. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60m2 prefabricated bungalow for the elderly in Setif Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Big thanks to everyone at the track for the massive effort, and the team back at Maranello for their continued hard work. This upgrade is a really positive step forward and I'm excited to explore it more next week. Now time to build momentum from here. " He apologized to his team over the radio after the Q1 exit, saying: "Sorry about this weekend, guys, losing you points. I'll work harder to come back stronger at the next race. Great job on the strategy and pit stops." Reflecting on his performance, Hamilton said, as per ESPN, "I think everyone in the team worked so hard. We obviously had these upgrades. Everyone back in the factory worked so hard. And then when you come and put in a performance like I had in these past two days, it's tough because that's not what the team deserves. It wasn't a case of necessarily coming in and not being in the right mindset through the weekend." "There were a few factors that affected things, particularly on Friday. Saturday was just me. But I recovered today. I got some points. We outscored Mercedes on points, which is great. Charles did a great job. Clearly, the car is improving because Charles was able to hold on to another podium. So I'm still going to work hard next week," he added.
