7-km traffic snarl on Gurugram highway, vehicles stuck for over 3 hours | Watch
PTC News Desk: After heavy rain lashed Gurugram on Monday, traffic on the Delhi-Jaipur highway came to a standstill, with vehicles lined up bumper-to-bumper for nearly 7–8 kilometres and commuters stranded for over three hours.
Severe waterlogging crippled movement across the city, and with more rain forecast for Tuesday, offices have been advised to allow employees to work from home, while schools have been asked to switch to online classes. The Haryana government has also instructed all field officers to remain at their posts and keep strict watch until September 5.
Commenting on the chaos, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala criticised the BJP, taking a jibe at its so-called "triple engine model of Millennium City urban development."
2 hours of rain = 20 KMs of Gurgaon Jam!
As CM Nayab Saini only flies in “State Helicopter” and doesn’t travel on “road”, this is a “helicopter shot” of Highway in Gurgaon just now.
So much for the rain preparedness and crores and crores of public money spent on drainage,… pic.twitter.com/HCNPYZkG2c — Randeep Singh Surjewala (@rssurjewala) September 1, 2025
This is Gurgaon after just TWO hours of rain. SHAMEFUL! You pay taxes, lots of taxes, direct, indirect, all kinds, and what do you get? Floods. Chaos. TERRIBLE! People deserve BETTER, the best quality of life, not this third-class nonsense.pic.twitter.com/nHFwQMMTbg — Gaurav Pandhi (@GauravPandhi) September 1, 2025
3 hours of rain and Gurugram is in complete chaos. People have been stranded in traffic for 5–6 hours.
This is the result of the BJP government’s incapability and failed planning. #Gurgaon #Gurugram #gurugramrain #GurgaonRains pic.twitter.com/Ltk8NBt7bm — Kumari Selja (@Kumari_Selja) September 1, 2025
