‘Gurgaon ke traffic se meri ruh kap jati hai’: Man leaves office at 5:30 pm only to spend over 2 hours on road
A man, frustrated with Gurgaon traffic, said he would prefer working from home rather than spending hours just to drive to and from the office.
A man's "corporate rant" has gone viral after a gruelling commute through Gurgaon’s notorious traffic. Despite leaving the office at 5:30 pm, the man spent the better part of his evening on the road, prompting him to question the necessity of working from the office when his tasks could easily be completed from home.
“Today’s corporate rant,” Instagram user Samarth Wadhwa wrote. In the video, he claims he left the office at 5:30 pm, thinking he would reach home early. However, he was on the road for nearly 3 hours due to heavy traffic in Gurgaon.

Redesigning of busy Gurgaon junctions:
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has announced its plans to redesign 17 busy traffic intersections. They are between sectors 1 and 57. According to the authorities, this move would reduce congestion and curb vehicular pollution.
“These measures are aimed at ensuring smoother traffic flow, reducing wait time at intersections and minimising long queues of vehicles. By reducing stoppage time and improving traffic circulation, the project will also contribute to lowering emissions at these high-traffic points,” Amit Godara, executive engineer, GMDA, told HT.com.
