Officials received waterlogging complaints from at least 20 spots in Old Gurugram such as Pataudi Chowk, sectors 22, 23, Palam Vihar, Sector 10A, and Hero Honda Chowk after Wednesday's downpour.

Gurugram deputy commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav said his team along with Union minister and Gurugram Member of Parliament (MP) Rao Inderjit Singh took stock of waterlogging issues and visited several major hot spots across the city on Thursday.

"We have identified 112 spots across the city from where waterlogging has been reported. We have planned to deploy 20 administrative officials and each of them will be responsible for five spots each and will ensure there is no waterlogging. Each official will be assisted by a junior engineer from the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) or the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG)," Yadav said.
