Massive excitement from the suburbs of Delhi like rains are wreaking havoc

Thousands of commuters in one of the richest suburbs in India were trapped on roads for six to eight hours due to the traffic platform launched on Monday.

The incident triggered indignation online, with a lot of questions how a place like Gurugram – known for its futuristic skyscrapers and its sprawling outcrops – could have such a bad infrastructure.

The disaster management authorities in the suburbs, which are located on the outskirts of Capital Delhi, advised offices, schools and colleges to work at home on Tuesday, as planned more precipitation.

Torrential rains have wreaked havoc in several regions of India this year, killing hundreds of people in floods and landslides.

Many people went to social networks to express their frustration in the face of “nightmarish” traffic in Gurugram, which was more than 10 km (6.2 miles) on a road, according to local media.

A viral video shows an endless row of cars obstructing at least a dozen lanes of a key motorway.

“Gurugram is drowning. You pay an exorbitant rent to get home,” said a user on X.

Some users joked by saying if they just had to sleep in the office and others said they would likely reach a walk.

Gurugram is part of the state of Haryana, led by the Bharatiya Janata party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The frustrated residents have raised questions about the reasons why the State has not been able to improve infrastructure in the city, which houses the regional headquarters of some of the largest companies, including Google, Meta, American Express and Samsung.

Meanwhile, weather warnings have also been issued to Delhi and in the surrounding cities.

The Yamuna river, which crosses the city, has crossed the brand of danger in recent days, flooding certain low zones. The authorities have urged the people who live there to move to safer places.

The old railway bridge, which connects both sides of the river, was closed due to the increase in water level.

In an article on social networks on Monday, Delhi’s chief minister Rekha Gupta assured residents that the situation was closely monitored.

India is regularly witnessing serious floods during the monsoon season, which takes place between June and September. But officials say that the rainy intensity this season has been significantly higher.

The rains have also beaten other states such as Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and certain parts of the cashmere administered by the Indians.

At least 29 people died due to the floods in Punjab where more rains are scheduled for Tuesday.

The data published by the Himachal Pradesh disaster management authority show that 310 people were killed in rain -related incidents – such as sudden floods, landslides and road accidents – in the state since June 2025.

Last month, at least 46 people were killed in a village welcoming Hindu pilgrims to cashmere administered by the Indians.

On August 5, almost half of the village of Dharali, in the state of Uttarakhand, was overwhelmed after being struck by a sudden massive flood.
