Gurugram, Aug. 6 -- Parts of Gurugram were inundated and traffic slowed to a crawl after the station at Northcap University recorded 78.5mm of rainfall on Tuesday evening, according to the India Meterological Department (IMD), leaving hundreds of vehicles stranded on several arterial roads during the evening rush. The city also received light to moderate rainfall on Wednesday. Severe waterlogging was reported at Sunset Boulevard Road, Sheetla Mata Road, the Bajghera underpass, MG Road, Hamilton Vyapar Kendra, Subhash Chowk, Sohna Road, parts of Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) and NH-48. At the Bajghera underpass, accumulated rainwater slowed traffic and forced motorists to negotiate submerged stretches, while long vehicle queues were reported. Videos on social media showed two-wheelers struggling through flooded roads and vehicles partially submerged. Shivangi Singh, a resident of Sushant Lok Phase-1 and an employee at a private firm in Delhi, said, "I was stuck in traffic near Ambience Mall for over two hours. It usually takes me around one to one-and-a-half hours to reach home, but because of the rain, the journey took nearly three hours." Meanwhile, Ankit Yadav, a resident of Badshahpur who commutes to Udyog Vihar for work, said, "It usually takes me about 40 minutes to reach Udyog Vihar from my home. But on Tuesday, the journey took more than two hours. I spent nearly 40 minutes just crossing the Tau Devi Lal stretch." Meena Kumari, a resident of Fazilpur who works in Sector 71, said she faced difficulty walking to work on Wednesday morning. "I walk to my workplace, but the internal village roads are waterlogged which delayed my commute significantly," she said. Traffic police reported congestion at several locations, including NH-48, Sheetla Mata Road, Udyog Vihar and the Dwarka Expressway, after waterlogging slowed vehicular movement. "There were minor traffic disruptions, mainly on the Delhi-Gurgaon road due to waterlogging, but our teams were deployed on the ground and traffic was brought under control by 9pm," said a senior traffic police official, asking not to be named. Traffic officials said there were no reported disruptions to public transport services, including the metro, due to the rain and waterlogging. They added that no injuries, vehicle breakdowns, rescue operations, or incidents involving school buses or ambulances being stranded in traffic snarls or waterlogged stretches were reported. Waterlogging was largely confined to GMDA roads, while internal roads remained free of prolonged waterlogging, they added. In response, GMDA spokesperson Neha Sharma said, "GMDA, NHAI and PWD have finalised a joint action plan involving a series of engineering measures aimed at improving stormwater management in the Bajghera area." Sharma added that a similar action plan would also be prepared for Sheetla Mata Road. "Our teams were also deployed with pumps on the ground to tackle waterlogging in areas. We will identify the problem and look for quick resolutions," she said. Tuesday's 78.5mm downpour was more than 10 times the city's normal average daily rainfall of 7.7mm, according to the IMD officials. However, it was marginally lower than the 80mm recorded on July 8 but significantly higher than the 55mm received on July 28....
