Man slams authorities for ignoring the roads’ state during monsoon.

The post that has now gone viral on the internet has the Reddit user criticising the authorities for not taking enough action to improve the state of the roads. The resident of Gurugram said that he would leave India after a downpour recently caused severe waterlogging and flood-like situations in many areas in the Millennium City. In the post, he wrote, “I don’t understand how people in Gurgaon accept the condition of roads during the monsoon season. Yesterday night, I saw at least 5 imported cars stranded in the waterlogging, while I crossed them in my car. This is crazy. I sense that rich people/industrialists can influence, put pressure, and press pain points the govt.. yet there is no action taken by either of them. How are they accepting these personal losses.” He added, “While people like us (lower, middle and upper middle class), we just accept the status quo. I am frightened to take my car out in this season, coz one damage is gonna cost me a hell lot of money. It’s not fair that we have to face these issues. At this point, the govt. cannot be trusted. Neither the ones in power and the so called ‘opposition.”

Netizens react to the viral post.

One user wrote, “All this is because of the collective resignation of the wealthiest citizens, who could demand change, and the rest of us, who tolerate it.” Another wrote, “Honestly, I really can’t believe condition of this so called major Tech hub. I came here for my internship last month, which is going to be for an year now. I was impressed initially seeing the DLF Phases road, the big Cyberhub location and the glass buildings. But the internal situation is pathetic.”

The Redditor added, “I have decided to move out of India, coz I don’t want to live my life like this. See people struggle and not get the basic amenities, welfare and service. This maybe an incidental rant, but I am pissed now.”
