Gurugram Waterlogging | Sink-A-Pour?: Millenium Dreams Drown
A massive crater swallowed a truck in Gurugram late Wednesday night after an intense spell of rain caused a portion of the road to collapse, severely impacting traffic. The incident occurred around 10:30 pm on Wednesday when the truck, en route through the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), suddenly plunged into a crater that had formed moments earlier. The truck overturned and has remained lodged in the crater since the collapse. The collapse was triggered by an accumulation of rainwater following unprecedented rainfall in the area. Gurugram recorded 133 mm of rainfall in a span of 12 hours, with over 103 mm falling within just 90 minutes, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The Wazirabad tehsil nearby recorded 122 mm in the same period.
