Gurgaon gives Bengaluru tough competition: Video of kilometre-long traffic jam near Cyber Hub goes viral

A video showing a sea of vehicles crawling through Gurugram’s Cyber Hub area has drawn compa risons with Bengaluru's infamous traffic jams. The clip, reportedly from Sector 24, captures a kilometre-long snarl on both sides of the road, with multiple lanes offering little relief as cars inch forward at a snail’s pace.

Shared on Instagram last week, the video is set to Atif Aslam’s song Aadat, underscoring how commuters in the NCR have seemingly grown numb to the chaos. The post is captioned, "Ab fark nahi padta" (It doesn't bother me anymore).

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.

Traffic came to a crawl in the national capital Tuesday morning after a downpour left several roads waterlogged and many stretches freshly laid with asphalt potholed.

Heavy congestion was reported for several hours from ITO to Old Rohtak Road, Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH-8), Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, Mehrauli-Gurugram Road, Peeragarhi to ISBT, Madhuban Chowk, Delhi-Ghaziabad stretch, and National Highway-9.

The city struggled to drain excess water.

The Mehrauli-Badarpur stretch was among the worst affected, witnessing bumper-to-bumper traffic well into the afternoon, with motorists reporting delays of up to an hour.

Another commuter reported being stuck for over 30 minutes on the Delhi-Ghaziabad road "just to cross a one-kilometre stretch."

Several parts of south Delhi, including roads leading to the AIIMS, Safdarjung Hospital, and the Ashram area, were choked with traffic.

Many people blamed the Delhi Traffic Police on social media for not issuing timely alerts or deploying personnel to manage the situation.

A commuter commented, "Not a single cop from Delhi Police or Delhi Traffic Police is there to guide. Heavy waterlogging on Mehrauli-Badarpur Road left many people stranded on the road for hours."
