Gurugram, July 6 -- Heavy rain lashed parts of Gurugram on Sunday, leaving several areas severely waterlogged, with Old Gurugram among the worst affected. Locals reported flooding in sectors 3, 7, 9, 10, 10A, 34 and 69; Ashok Vihar Phase III; Bus Stand area; Khandsa Road; Rajendra Park; Daulatabad Industrial Area; Basai; Bajghera; Surat Nagar; Dhanwapur; and Caterpur. The Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test was conducted on Sunday, with three examination centres in Sectors 10 and 10A, where candidates said commuting became difficult due to flooded roads and snarl. "The main road turned into a river, making it difficult for those on two-wheelers," said candidate Pooja Yadav. Vikas Hooda, president of Ashok Vihar Phase 3 RWA, said authorities had promised the area would be free of waterlogging, but those assurances failed to materialise. "Pedestrians are forced to wade through dirty water; it is coming up to two feet in places, forming murky pools," he said. Anuj Mathur, a resident of Tulip Purple, Sector 69, said residents of Tulip Purple, Tulip White and nearby shops have faced chronic waterlogging for eight to 10 years. "Within a few hours of rain, the area gets waterlogged as if it has been raining for days," he said. Despite the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram's assurance that Rajendra Park would no longer face waterlogging, residents reported continued inundation, especially in Block C. "This is dangerous. Pipeline work is ongoing, and the chambers have been left open," said resident Rajesh Gulia. In Sector 23A (West Zone), RWA general secretary Vikas Gauba alleged that incomplete work by an MCG-appointed contractor had worsened flooding. "We have asked the corporation to black list the agency and get the work completed as soon as possible," he said. A senior official said teams equipped with pumps, suction tankers and tractor-mounted pumps were deployed after reports of waterlogging. "Some of the desilting work is in its final stage and will be completed soon," the official said. Gurugram recorded 34.4mm of rainfall across three India Meteorological Department (IMD) automatic weather stations till 5.30pm. The NorthCap University AWS in Sector 23A recorded 34.5mm, while the other two stations recorded up to 6mm.
