Gurgaon: Visuals of traffic jams, submerged roads and underpasses, and a boat moving on a waterlogged road emerged from Gurgaon after the Haryana city - which houses plush buildings belonging to leading multi-national companies and sprawling shopping malls – was completely paralysed by heavy rains.
Cars and other vehicles were seen crawling on roads filled with water, exposing the city`s lack of planning to deal with monsoon. The most astonishing visual of waterlogging emerged from the streets near DLF Cyber City - where scores of companies have their offices. The entire area is seen submerged in muddied water as people and vehicles wade through.
