Is Gurugram Still Better Than Bengaluru? Debate Over Viral Traffic Video
New Delhi: A video of thousands of cars moving at snail's pace in Gurugram's Cyber Hub area has led to the city's comparison with Bengaluru traffic. The traffic appears to be over a kilometre long, and the vehicles crawl, despite multiple lanes, in both directions. The clip of the gridlock, posted to Instagram last week, is from Sector 24 and has Atif Aslam's ' Aadat' song playing in the background to convey that people in NCR have grown used to the situation. The post's caption read, " Ab fark nahi padta (It does not bother me anymore)." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ankit Tiwari (@nomadic_ankit_) The video received thousands of reactions, with many comparing it to Bengaluru and Hyderabad's traffic. One commented, "Who barks about Bengaluru?" "Gurugram is giving Bangalore some serious competition," a second comment read. Others slammed the government for not having proper planning. "Zero planning in India as expected," one commented. "Problem is people made this norm. No one's complaining to the government," read another comment. Gurugram experienced intense rainfall over the last week, bringing life to a standstill. Last Wednesday night, a portion of the road collapsed, forming a crater, which then swallowed a truck. The truck driver survived with minor injuries. Around 10:30 PM, the truck, en route through the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), suddenly plunged into the crater, disrupting traffic in the area. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Gurugram experienced 133 mm of rain in 12 hours on July 9, with more than 103 mm dropping in only 90 minutes. Apart from Gurugram, multiple routes in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), witnessed heavy traffic last week. Key locations such as Basai, Golf Course Extension Road, Rajiv Chowk, Sheetla Mata Road, Sadar Bazaar, Bus Adda Road, and residential colonies witnessed significant waterlogging following heavy rains.

Video: Man Swept Away In Floodwater In Rajasthan, Rescued By Hotel Staff
After heavy rain lashed Ajmer on July 18, several parts of the city, including the revered Dargah of Khwaja Garib Nawaz, were left severely waterlogged. The downpour inundated the narrow lanes around the shrine, turning them into fast-flowing streams. In one such spot outside the Dargah's Nizam Gate, a potentially tragic incident unfolded when a man lost his footing and was nearly swept away by the forceful current. A video of the incident shows alarming scenes of severe flooding in the area. The pilgrim, holding a water bottle, is swept away by gushing water. Several bystanders immediately attempt to help, but the force of the water proves too strong for them. What followed was a moment of courage and quick thinking. A staff member of a nearby hotel acted without hesitation. Despite the force of the gushing water, he managed to grab the man and pull him to the side. His swift response prevented what could have easily turned into a fatal mishap. The timely intervention by a staffer from Hashmi Hotel made all the difference. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NDTV (@ndtv) According to reports, in the past 24 hours, many parts of Rajasthan witnessed light to moderate rainfall, while isolated areas received heavy to extremely heavy showers. Sangod in Kota district recorded the highest rainfall at 166 mm. The highest maximum temperature was recorded in Jaisalmer at 39.1 degrees Celsius, while the lowest was in Sirohi AWS at 20.9 degrees Celsius. Heavy Rain Alert Issued For 15 Districts On Saturday According to the weather department, a low-pressure system over northwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining southwestern Uttar Pradesh is likely to move northwestward through eastern Rajasthan over the next 24 hours. Due to the influence of this system, there is a strong likelihood of heavy to very heavy rainfall, and at some places, extremely heavy rainfall in parts of Kota, Ajmer and Jodhpur divisions on Saturday. Isolated heavy rain is also expected in Jaipur, Udaipur, and Bharatpur divisions. The IMD has reported that a depression system has entered Rajasthan, which is driving the ongoing spell of heavy rains. However, rainfall activity is likely to reduce across Rajasthan starting July 20, as the system weakens and begins to move out of the region.

The decision, which was based on risks related to the weather, raised eyebrows and a lot of questions. Even though their tour was taking place over a wide range of days with varying weather conditions, they offered the weather as their justification. Live Events They wrote, "The Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour dates…the combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable.' "You can blame it on the weather…the tour is cancelled," the statement went on. The band's statement ended on Wednesday with the words, 'Don't know where, don't know when…we hope to see you all again.' 'Wishing you all Peace, Love, and Happiness.' Beginning with a performance in Bethel Woods, New York, on August 15, the band had 31 dates planned. The tour was supposed to conclude on November 8 with a performance in Anaheim, California. What are fans saying online? Some fans didn't understand the explanation, but others thought the legendary frontman should be able to leave when he wants. One critic commented on Instagram, "This seems like a strange excuse to cancel a tour," while another said, "The weather has been the weather since the beginning of time." What is actually the cause?

Have some class, people," wrote another fan, criticizing the negative response. In 1966, the Steve Miller Band was founded in San Francisco, California. "Take the Money and Run," "Rock'n Me," and "Fly Like an Eagle" are just a few of the group's iconic hits from the 1970s. Their success continued with the No. 1 single "Abracadabra" in 1982, and their "Greatest Hits 1974-78" album sold over 15 million copies as a result. FAQs Why did the Steve Miller Band call off their 2025 tour? They cited weather-related hazards such as extreme heat and storms as the primary reason. How have fans reacted to the cancellation?
