Sea-facing flats in Gurgaon? Woman shares video of flooded Golf Course Road
A viral video reveals severe waterlogging on Golf Course Road in Gurgaon, home to luxury DLF apartments worth ₹100 crore.
Gurgaon residents battled waterlogged roads and traffic congestion on Wednesday morning after a spell of rainfall again brought the city to a standstill once again. Gurgaon Municipal Development Authority (GMDA) said several teams were deployed to ensure quick discharge of water after several major roads experienced waterlogging.
In one of Gurgaon’s most upscale neighbourhoods, which recently grabbed headlines for the sale of ₹100 crore apartments, luxury cars were seen driving in deep water. The scene was filmed at Golf Course Road, one of the arterial routes where waterlogging affected the movement of traffic.
Former Meta employee Anushri Pawar shared a now-viral video of the waterlogged Golf Course Road on X, highlighting the condition of roads outside ultra-luxury housing projects.
“What should we call this? River Facing or Sea Facing?” Pawar asked. “This is the condition of Roads in front of 100 crores Camellias and Magnolias in Golf Course Road in Gurgaon. This is the condition of roads in just half an hour rain and ppl here will still buy flats in 100 crores,” she added.
Basic facilities missing
The video shocked viewers on X, where it was shared this morning. Many asked why Gurugram is still facing drainage issues and called out civic bodies for their lack of preparedness.
“Some of the country's richest live here. But gated complexes, no matter how posh, can buy you a functional drainage system in Gurgaon,” wrote X user Patralekha.
“After seeing Gurgaon turn into a water park every monsoon, swimming should be mandatory for corporate jobs in Gurgaon. If you can't swim to work, you're probably in the wrong city!” another person added.
“Isn't it an indication that all the major cities lack a proper rain water drainage circuit parallel to all the roads? What we are seeing is nothing else but poor city infrastructure design lacking a rain drainage system,” Hitendra Khatri opined.
