Heavy Rains Drowns Gurugram, Noida Scores On Rain Management

Date:

New Delhi: Gurugram finds itself submerged as heavy downpours lash the city, leaving its roads and infrastructure overwhelmed. The monsoon showers have released their wrath, flooding large areas and halting travel for many hours. However, in stark contrast, Noida stands out for its commendable rain management efforts. Despite the torrential rainfall, Noida has managed to navigate the challenges more effectively, demonstrating its preparedness to tackle such situations.

While Gurugram residents were seen fuming over the waterlogging of the roads, videos of commuters wading through knee-deep water raised concerns about the efficiency of the city’s drainage infrastructure. Noida residents enjoyed the pleasant monsoon weather and shared videos of their runs on social media.

Due to the anticipated substantial rainfall, Gurugram and Noida local authorities have strongly recommended corporate organizations implement work-from-home arrangements for Monday. Additionally, schools have been advised to declare a holiday for the safety and well-being of their students.

Heavy rainfall has resulted in adverse effects across various regions. Punjab and Haryana are experiencing traffic snarls and waterlogging due to the heavy rains. In Himachal Pradesh, the situation is more severe, with heavy downpours triggering landslides, causing significant damage to houses, and tragically claiming the lives of five individuals. The state has been put on red alert to ensure the safety of residents.

Additionally, Jammu and Kashmir witnessed the loss of two lives due to a landslide. Uttarakhand is also facing a critical situation with a red alert in place, as several roads have been blocked due to landslides.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast for rainfall in different states over the next few days, although the intensity of the rain may vary.
