A heavy spell of monsoon rain turned Gurugram's posh Golf Course Road into a virtual stream on Sunday, sparking outrage among residents and raising concerns about the city's infrastructure. The area, known for its luxurious apartments, including The Camellias by DLF, which boasts properties worth over Rs 100 crore, was left waterlogged after overnight rainfall. The Camellias, where an 11,000-square-foot apartment was resold for over Rs 100 crore last October, saw its surroundings submerged in waist-deep water, NDTV reported.
Homeowners in the area, who have invested between Rs 18 crore and Rs 40 crore in their apartments, were shocked to find that the upscale neighbourhood looked like other flood-prone area of the National Capital Region (NCR). Visuals shared on social media highlighted the stark contrast between the luxurious amenities of the Golf Course Road and the reality of its waterlogged streets. A user posted on X, "This is the famous Golf Course Road of Gurgaon where a few months back a flat was sold for over ₹ 100 crores.
99.5% of people in India cannot afford or even think of buying a property on this road. But this part of Gurgaon is no different from any area of the city.
