“This is a situation every year.
A little rain shows reality.
The administration always makes a plan, but nothing happens at the ground,” said Ashok Garg, a resident of Sushant Lok -1.
Traffic police officers stood almost knees in the accumulated rainwater, seen managing several regions, including the border of the Kapashera, Narsinghpur and IFFCO Chowk.
“Waterlogging remains during the rain.

After stopping rain, the accumulated rain water began to recede and the normal vehicle movement was restored,” said an officer at IFFCO Chowk.
Many areas witness long power cuts after rain.
“There is no electricity in the area all day.
Power reserves cannot last long,” said Palim Vihar Resident Kriti Gour.
Asked about the blackout, a DHBVN official said: “Many regional ownership lies in the developer.
They need to increase the infrastructure to examine power outages during the rain.” Deputy Commissioner Yash Garg said all civilian institutions worked together to ensure that people did not face all kinds of discomfort during the rain , GMDA officials also said they managed to ensure that the rainfall had receded within two hours after the rain was completely stopped.
“Nearly 90% of the low tide within two hours.
This shows that the system works.
Gurgaon receives heavy rainfall on Wednesday, and it’s normal to get waterlogging in some low-lying areas,” said Head of the GMDA Pradeep Kumar engineer.
