Check out the visuals shared by people of Gurgaon’s flooded Golf Course after just few hours of rain:
This is the monsoon season, and just like every time this year as well the season has caused severe waterlogging in many cities around the country like Jaipur, Mumbai and Delhi. Today, Gurugram experienced a continuous spell of rain. Many Twitter users shared the sad state of affairs from some of the posh areas of the city.
Prime real estate locations like Golf Course Road, Hero Honda Chowk, apartments in DLF Phase 5, etc were flooded which highlighted issues with infrastructure and drainage systems. People also pointed out that buildings on Golf Course Road are way too expensive (INR 14-27 crores).

Direction to reach my place: exit the highway, take the golf course canal, sail through for 3 km, tie your boat to 3rd traffic signal, swim to DLF phase 5. Welcome home 😂 #Gurugram #Gurgaon pic.twitter.com/ZV8gGaV8UK

A resident said: The basement in our society was heavily flooded as rainwater came inside due to poor construction by the developer. We face the same issue almost every year but there hasn’t been any resolution.”

We really hope that authorities take note of this and fix it.
