Heavy rainfall led to extensive waterlogging, road cave-ins and massive traffic jams across the city. The main carriageway of the Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH-48) near Narsinghpur caved in after the downpour, forcing authorities to shut two lanes. The closure resulted in long traffic snarls between Hero Honda Chowk and the Kherki Daula Toll Plaza, leaving thousands of commuters stranded.The rainfall also exposed the city's recurring waterlogging issues, with several major roads and highways submerged. Residents shared videos on social media showing flooded streets, stranded vehicles and severe traffic congestion.The downpour coincided with school closing hours, worsening the traffic situation across Gurugram. School buses and students were among those most affected by the gridlock.In one incident, a school bus slipped into an open drain on NH-48. Fortunately, no students were on board and no injuries were reported.According to a report of PTI, major stretches affected by waterlogging and traffic congestion included Narsinghpur on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, Basai, Hero Honda Chowk, Golf Course Extension Road, Rajiv Chowk, Vatika Chowk, Iffco Chowk, Udyog Vihar, Sohna Road, Khandsa Road, Old Delhi Road, Pataudi Road, the Millennium City Centre-Hero Honda Chowk stretch, Old Gurugram-Delhi Road, Old Railway Station Road and New Railway Station Road.Traffic police personnel remained deployed across the city despite the heavy rain to regulate vehicular movement and ease congestion.Gurugram rainfall dataAccording to official figures, Gurugram recorded a maximum of 82 mm of rainfall on Tuesday.Among different areas, Kadipur and Harsaru sub-tehsils recorded 82 mm each, while Gurugram tehsil received 76 mm of rain.
