All corporate offices & private institutions are advised to allow ' work from home' on 10th July 2025 to prevent traffic congestion, district administration of Gurugram issued an advisory on Thursday.
The administration also stated that IMD (India Meteorological Department) has issued an 'Orange Alert' for Gurugram.
"In view of the above situation, all corporate offices and private institutions in the district are advised to guide their employee(s) to work from home today so that traffic congestion can be avoided," the District Magistrate said in line with the District Disaster Management Authority, Gurugram.
The advisory read, "In the last 12 hours (7 pm, 09.07.2025 to 7 am, 10.07.2025) 133mm rainfall has been recorded in Gurugram city, including an 'extremely intense spell' of 103mm between 07.30 pm-9.00 pm on 09.07.2025. The IMD, in its forecast, has issued an Orange Alert."
Gurugram and several other parts of Delhi NCR received heavy rainfall on Wednesday leading to waterlogging in several areas. The rain brought much-needed relief from the intense humidity and high temperatures, with overcast skies persisting across the region. Vehicles were seen wading through the waterlogged roads.
The weather agency has predicted "thunderstorm with rain" for the next three days for Delhi. However, the weather of Gurugram is likely to remain with "generally cloudy sky with a few spells of rain or thundershowers" for the next two days.
The officials reported that the road in front of the parking lot near Rajiv Chowk, Sheetla Mata road, Sadar Bazaar, Bus Adda road and roads in nearby colonies were also flooded.
Waterlogging was also reported from Basai Chowk, Khandsa, Sanjay Gram Road, Sohna Road, Subhash Chowk and Sectors 30, 31, 40, 45, 47, 51, 22, 23, 4, 5, 12, 13 and 48 of Gurugram.
The waterlogging led to traffic jams in large parts of the city. The Gurugram traffic police warned commuters about slow traffic.
"Waterlogging has been reported at many places across Gurugram due to heavy rain since last night. Traffic jams with movement disruption may take more than usual time to commute," it said in a post on X.
The rain led to a 7 to 8 km-long queue of vehicles on National Highway 48 from Narsinghpur to Rajokri in Delhi on Wednesday night.
About 2.5 feet of water was accumulated at Subhash Chowk, due to which people were stuck in a jam till 2 am on Thursday.
Some citizens took to social media to highlight the state of roads and called for action against officials of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG).
Earlier, the IMD predicted active monsoon conditions over central parts of the country during the next 4-5 days.
