“There’s construction work happening everywhere. So many places have been left dug up. Rain-filled potholes can be dangerous for unsuspecting commuters,” said Sudhir Bhardwaj, RWA president, Sector 56.

Besides having pumping machines ready to flush out excess water, the authorities have also deployed additional staff for better management.
