Gurugram Weather: Various parts of Gurugram were found waterlogged after heavy rain and thunderstorms battered Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) early on Friday. Number of videos were shared on social media, showing extent of waterlogging in Delhi and neighbouring areas including Gurugram. 

Taking to X, a user posted a video of waterlogging, inquiring why there is no GST charged as the region has become a water park. An X user @Sydusm wrote, “Few hours of rain and Gurgaon turns into a waterpark. Wonder why they don’t charge GST on it,” and posted a video along. 

Another X handle @Hmm_India held concerned authorities accountable, saying ‘waterlogging in Gurgaon is loss to Human Resource’.

A severe thunderstorm swept through the national capital in the early hours, triggering widespread waterlogging, traffic disruption, and even fatalities. Four people lost their lives and one person was injured after a tree collapsed on a tubewell room in a farm in Kharkhari village of Dwarka.
