Netizens React To Gurugram Becoming 'Watergram'
A user on X shared a video of waterlogging in Surat Nagar and wrote, '@DC_Gurugram After even a short rain, the streets get completely blocked with waterlogging in Surat Nagar. This isn't a one-time issue — only temporary fixes are done, no permanent solutions! Please take urgent action to fix this problem for good."

'Most of Gurugram is under water but our water bodies are under hundreds of tons of debris. Encroachments of water bodies by residents and authorities alike. Lots of rain but parched earth with scarcity of drinking water. Restore water bodies and harvest every drop," a comment reads.
Another frustrated Gurugram citizen wrote, 'Every rain repeatedly exposes #Gurugram and the complete collapse of civic infrastructure, huge builder nexus, excessive commercialization with scant regard to civic amenities."
One of the comments reads, 'Heavy rain in Delhi-Noida, roads turn into rivers in Gurugram – now this alert has been issued by the Meteorological Department."
