Amid the flood chaos in Gurugram, desperate pleas for help are pouring in on social media.
Amid the flood chaos in Gurugram, desperate pleas for help are pouring in on social media. In one such post, a man sought urgent intervention for his pregnant wife on Monday evening, saying they could face life-threatening risks if an emergency arises, as floodwater and power outages have cut off access to hospitals.
"Seeing this condition, it would be very difficult to go to hospital in case of an emergency. It is a humble request to authorities to please act in this matter as soon as possible," read one of the posts on X. Several complaints poured in from Sector 107 in Gurugram—Solera and M3M societies—where residents said massive waterlogging and electricity issues demanded immediate attention.
