As the monsoon season approaches, Gurugram is facing heightened fears of urban flooding due to clogged stormwater drains filled with garbage, plastic waste, and silt. Residents have expressed frustration over the poor maintenance of the drainage system, with many areas reporting overflowing drains and blocked water flow. Amit Jindal, president of the Resident Welfare Association in Sector 48, highlighted the alarming condition of the drains, which often turn roads into rivers during heavy rainfall. Civic officials acknowledged that the drainage network, which spans nearly 2,600 kilometers, suffers from illegal dumping and poor upkeep, particularly along the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway. Although municipal authorities claim that 70-80% of desilting work is completed, concerns persist regarding vulnerable flooding points. Environmental activist Vaishali Rana criticized the lack of accountability and monitoring, urging authorities to implement stricter measures against illegal dumping to mitigate future flooding risks.
