Gurugram’s Rs 11.8 crore Sector 102–102A road is flooding again after rain

The road linking Sectors 102 and 102A near Dwarka Expressway was redeveloped by GMDA last year for a reported Rs 11.8 crore. Residents say it still floods after rain, creating bottlenecks and damaging the surface despite drainage being part of the project.

Across Gurugram, rain has left potholes, cracks, loose gravel and waterlogged patches on MG Road, Ghata Road, the Sirhaul-Kapashera border road, Sheetla Mata Mandir Road and roads in Palam Vihar. On MG Road and Ghata Road, standing water can conceal the depth of potholes, making it harder for motorists to navigate damaged sections safely.

The city recorded more than 200mm of rain over 72 hours in a recent spell; parts were also waterlogged after 97mm in 24 hours earlier this month. The pattern has been visible on dug-up roads made hazardous by rain and near the Dwarka Expressway underpass, where waterlogging persisted after heavy rain.

Gurugram’s road repairs will need drainage, road levels, utility works and construction quality to be addressed together if newly rebuilt stretches are to hold through the next monsoon.
