Intermittent overnight rain in Gurugram in Haryana brought the city to a standstill on Thursday (July 10, 2025), with roads and several residential areas inundated and traffic gridlocked.

Gurugram recorded 133 mm of rainfall and Wazirabad tehsil 122 mm till 8.30 am, according to a statement issued by the district administration.

The Narsinghpur stretch of the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway and places near Basai and Golf Course Extension Road were left waterlogged by the downpour, which started on Wednesday evening, officials said.

The road in front of the parking lot near Rajiv Chowk, Sheetla Mata road, Sadar Bazaar, Bus Adda road and roads in nearby colonies were also flooded, they said.

Waterlogging was also reported from Basai Chowk, Khandsa, Sanjay Gram Road, Sohna Road, Subhash Chowk and Sectors 30, 31, 40, 45, 47, 51, 22, 23, 4, 5, 12, 13 and 48.

The waterlogging led to traffic jams in large parts of the city.

Gurugram traffic police warned commuters about slow traffic.

“Waterlogging has been reported at many places across Gurugram due to heavy rain since last night. Traffic jams with movement disruption may take more than usual time to commute,” it said in a post on X.

Vehicles queuing up 8 km

There was a 7 to 8-km-long queue of vehicles on National Highway 48 from Narsinghpur to Rajokri in Delhi on Wednesday night.

About 2.5 feet of water accumulated at Subhash Chowk and people were stuck in a jam till 2 am on Thursday (July 10).

Some people took to social media to highlight the state of roads and called for action against officials of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG).

In a post on X, the MCG said, “Required machinery is operational to ensure discharge of storm water. Drains are running at full capacity due to high rainfall.”
