Gurugram's Sinking Infrastructure: Sinkhole Exposes City's Flooding Crisis

Gurugram's latest sinkhole has become a stark symbol of the city's worsening infrastructure crisis. Just 75 mm of rain brought parts of the Millennium City to a standstill, with roads submerged, school buses stranded and traffic paralysed. As residents question where their taxes are going, the administration's response has included work-from-home advisories and directions for schools to avoid waterlogged routes. The debate now is about more than flooding — it is about drainage, urban planning, accountability and the failure to keep pace with Gurugram's explosive growth. With political blame flying between the BJP and Congress, residents say the city needs solutions, not more advisories.
