Gurugram has been witnessing heavy rainfall for the past several days. The city continues to battle severe flooding and waterlogging, with residents struggling through massive traffic jams and submerged roads. Recently, a video surfaced online showing the Rajiv Chowk underpass completely flooded, where children and teenagers are seen using it as if it were a swimming pool. Netizens are slamming the authorities for failing to resolve waterlogging issues despite spending crores of rupees on construction and maintenance.
ये गुरुग्राम का राजीव चौक का सबवे अंडरपास है जहाँ बरसाती पानी भर गया है।करोड़ों रुपए खर्च कर बना यह अंडरपास अब लोगों के लिए खतरा साबित हो रहा है।छोटे बच्चों के लिए ये स्विमिंग पूल बन गया है जो खेल-खेल में इसमें उतरते हैं, जिससे कभी भी बड़ा हादसा हो सकता है।#Gurugram #RajivChowk… pic.twitter.com/UR9Qbb9Epx

The shocking video shows children and teenagers swimming in the heavily flooded underpass, splashing around and enjoying themselves, seemingly unaware of the potential dangers. The video is being widely shared on social media, drawing widespread criticism of the government for raising false hopes about better infrastructure.
The video was posted by @KishorJoshi02, with the caption: “This is the Rajiv Chowk underpass in Gurugram, where rainwater has accumulated. Built at a cost of crores of rupees, this underpass has now turned into a danger zone. It has become a swimming pool for children, who enter it while playing, which could lead to a major accident at any time.”
A similar video shows a large volume of rainwater pouring onto vehicles at the Signature Tower Square underpass in Gurugram.
Another viral video shows a massive traffic jam at Iffco Chowk in Gurugram, shared on Instagram by @RajBabbar23. The caption reads, “This picture of Iffco Chowk is from 8:30 pm last night. The same situation was seen at Hero Honda Chowk. There is no area left where the roads haven’t turned into ponds. # Gurugram’s neglect has made life hell. In the name of development, there are tall buildings, but the drains below are so poor that one rain floods the entire city. As usual, the government, ministers, and public representatives are hiding, unwilling to even talk about—let alone fix—the condition of our Millennium City.”
