Heavy overnight rainfall led to severe waterlogging in several parts of Gurugram, with Narsinghpur area among the worst affected. Visuals from the locality showed flooded roads, traffic congestion, and difficulties for pedestrians navigating waterlogged stretches.
In response to the situation, the Gurugram district administration issued an advisory urging all corporate offices and private institutions to implement work-from-home for employees on Thursday to ease traffic and ensure public safety.
According to the District Disaster Management Authority, Gurugram recorded 133 mm of rainfall in just 12 hours (from 7 PM on July 9 to 7 AM on July 10), including an “extremely intense spell” of 103 mm between 7:30 PM and 9:00 PM. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an Orange Alert for the region and forecasts continued moderate rain and thunderstorms for the next few days.
The broader Delhi-NCR region also experienced continuous rain through Wednesday night, providing relief from the humidity but also causing urban flooding. Areas like Shalimar Bagh and Patparganj in Delhi reported waterlogging, with AAP leaders sharing videos on X, criticising the BJP-led administration for inadequate preparedness.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan’s Ajmer and parts of Himachal Pradesh are also facing the brunt of the active monsoon. The State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) in Himachal Pradesh reported 85 rain-related fatalities so far this season, including deaths from landslides, flash floods, and road accidents.
The IMD has predicted that active monsoon conditions will persist across central and northern India over the next 4–5 days, raising concerns of further disruptions.
