From Gurugram to Gurujam: Heavy Rains, Traffic and Twitter Outrage

One heavy downpour on Thursday – and the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway was chock-a-block with cars.

As angry commuters dealt with heavy rains and waterlogged streets, they took to social media to vent their frustration, making sarcastic remarks against the Gurgaon administration.

People were stuck, taking three to four hours to cover a distance of under five kilometres – and all that anger found manifestation in tweets.

Here’s a look at some of them.

The Name Change Certainly Did Not Help

Changing the name to Gurugram did not solve #Gurgaon problems. Maybe we should change the std code next time. pic.twitter.com/lH1WTj3JgV
