Gurugram: Heavy showers brought millennium city Gurugram to a grinding halt on Thursday evening.
Commuters were stuck for hours on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and in many other parts of the city.
Among the worst hit areas were Hero Honda Chowk, Subhash Chowk and Sohna Road.
As per Gurgaon Police, the situation slowly started to improve after 10 pm but it will be while before the situation returns to normal.
Gurgaon Police Commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk said that the entire traffic and district police force was on roads to help commuters.
