Gurgaon Woman Has ‘No Words Left' After Returning To Flooded Home
The woman claimed that her house is located near Gurugram's upscale Golf Course Road, close to luxury residences like DLF Camellias.
Life in Gurugram came to a standstill as heavy rain battered the city and surrounding areas on the night of Wednesday, July 9. The downpour continued into Thursday, leading to severe waterlogging, traffic snarls and major inconvenience for residents. Photos and videos capturing the chaos quickly went viral on social media. One such widely shared clip shows a woman's flooded home, which she claimed is located near Gurugram's upscale Golf Course Road, close to luxury residences like DLF Camellias.
The clip captures the extent of destruction caused by the rain. It begins with visuals of a road outside that is completely submerged in water. The woman then shows the indoors of her house, where her living area is filled with brown muddy water. Personal items are seen floating inside the house.
In the caption, she wrote, 'What happened last night has left me completely shattered. As most of you know, the weather yesterday was brutal — it poured relentlessly for nearly 4 hours. I live near Golf Course Road — the area known for its upscale high-rises like DLF Camellias, where homes are sold for Rs 100 crore. But even here, this is the harsh reality of Gurugram."
'When I returned from work, I found my car half-submerged in water. But what truly broke me was what I found inside my home. This is my home. A home I had carefully and lovingly set up after I moved in. Everything that was on the floor — furniture, belongings — was floating, soaked, and destroyed," she continued.
The woman concluded with, 'I have no words left. Just pain. Just disbelief. This is not just water damage. It's emotional damage. And it's real."
The post caught people's attention not just because of the dramatic visuals but also because of the emotions behind it.
One user commented, 'India needs a civil disobedience movement and mass protests against the corrupt government and bureaucracy. High time!"
Another added, 'This is very sad, the city which is generating billions of dollars is having such conditions."
'That's truly heartbreaking. Not a good feeling. Hope this gets resolved for you soon," someone sympathised.
A frustrated viewer wrote, 'Still people buying homes in Gurugram, this city should be unitedly abandoned for lack of urban planning."
'Man, that's terrible. How did you manage this? It's sad to see how the so-called planned and posh societies don't have proper drainage system," read another comment.
At least five people have reportedly lost their lives in Gurugram due to the recent heavy rainfall, including three who died of electric shock in separate incidents.

Monsoon havoc in Himachal claims 105 lives including 61 rain-related, 44 road accidents
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], July 14 (ANI): The monsoon season has continued to wreak havoc across Himachal Pradesh, claiming a total of 105 lives between June 20 and July 14, 2025, according to the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA). Out of 105 deaths, 61 deaths were directly caused by rain-related calamities, including landslides, flash floods, cloudbursts, drowning, fire incidents, and electrocution, as per the official cumulative report released by the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) under the Department of Revenue. Additionally, 44 people lost their lives in road accidents, which have sharply increased due to the slippery terrain, poor visibility, and road damage caused by relentless rainfall. The worst-hit district remains Mandi, accounting for 17 rain-related deaths, followed by Kangra with 14 and Hamirpur with 7. Other fatalities occurred in Kullu, Bilaspur, Una, Shimla, Chamba, and Kinnaur districts. Officials also confirmed that more than 184 people have been injured, and damages worth over 784.6 crore have been reported to both public and private property across sectors including roads, agriculture, power, education, animal husbandry, and rural infrastructure. The SDMA noted 31 flash floods, 22 cloudbursts, and 18 major landslides during this period. The authority has deployed rescue teams, and restoration efforts are ongoing in many blocked road sections and flood-hit regions. The Himachal Pradesh government has urged residents to avoid non-essential travel and stay alert to official weather warnings. Relief and ex-gratia payments are being distributed to affected families. Earlier, PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh announced interim relief of Rs 2 crore for severely affected assembly constituencies and Rs 50 lakh for others for emergency infrastructure repair. The state has appealed to the Central Government for increased support, stressing that the crisis transcends political lines and demands collective action. 'This is not the time for political rhetoric. We must rise above party lines and ensure relief reaches every affected citizen,' Singh urged. The SDMA has advised residents to avoid travel in high-risk zones, especially near hillsides and rivers, as rainfall is expected to continue. Continuous monitoring, early warning systems, and rapid response mechanisms remain activated across the state. (ANI)

According to the updated SDMA report, released by the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) under the Revenue Department, 61 out of the 105 deaths recorded between June 20 and July 14, 2025, were caused by rain-related disasters, including landslides, cloudbursts, flash floods, drowning, fire incidents, and electrocution.

Fatalities were also reported from Kullu, Bilaspur, Una, Shimla, Chamba, and Kinnaur.

More than 160 machines are currently deployed in Mandi district alone, with nearly 60 operational in Seraj region for clearing link roads,' he said.

The report also confirmed 31 flash floods, 22 cloudbursts, and 18 major landslides since June 20. Rescue teams remain on alert, and restoration efforts continue around the clock.
