IN PICS: How Gurgaon and Bengaluru turned into giant swimming pools

One is a Millennium City and other one is India’s startup hub. Gurugram and Bengaluru, two cities that house world’s best companies, have one major issue to deal with and it is not even funny.
Incessant rains in both the cities has brought normal life to a grinding halt as Gurugram and Bengaluru are flooded, leaving residents high and dry and daily commuters stranded in traffic for nearly six hours.
On Thursday evening, the situation in Gurugram turned worse when it rained cats and dogs in the Millennium City. The roads were flooded, people were stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for six hours.
The heavy rains exposed the lax attitude of civic authorities who continued to play the blame-game over the nuisance. Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar blamed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The Haryana Government says a large amount of water exits Gurugram through the Najafgarh drain, which flows through Delhi but is blocked partly, which inundates the city.
Meanwhile, Traffic Police worked tirelessly to help move the choc-a-bloc and even advised commuters to stay off roads on Friday. Schools have also been ordered to remain shut.
The situation in Bengaluru is also quite grim as authorities are using boats to rescue people stranded in the rain.
These pictures will clearly tell you what the situation is. Will our civic authorities turn a blind eye to this also?
