Gurugram Drowns Again: BJP Faces Flood Fury
Gurugram was brought to its knees on Thursday, July 31, 2025, by torrential rainfall that led to widespread waterlogging and crippling traffic jams. Commuters spent hours stranded in the deluge, highlighting the city’s perennial infrastructure woes.
Residents expressed their anger and frustration at the repeated flooding, pointing to the apparent failure of authorities to address the issue despite previous promises and substantial budgetary allocations. Social media was ablaze with images and videos depicting the chaos.
The BJP, the ruling party in Haryana, faced a fresh wave of criticism for its perceived inaction. Opposition parties have demanded a thorough investigation into the mismanagement of funds earmarked for flood mitigation.
Experts have long warned about the inadequate drainage systems and unplanned urban development contributing to Gurugram’s vulnerability to flooding. This latest incident underscores the urgent need for comprehensive infrastructure upgrades and better urban planning. The recurring floods not only disrupt daily life but also raise serious questions about governance and accountability, impacting investor confidence and the city’s overall development.
