Gurgaon: A day after heavy rainfall triggered waterlogging and traffic jams in the city, Gurgaon Police Commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk has been transferred to Rohtak. Sandeep Khirawar has been asked to take over as the new Commissioner of Police in Gurgaon.
Heavy rains and subsequent waterlogging crippled several parts of Gurgaon leaving thousands of people stranded for hours.
Schools were also ordered to be shut down in the city.
Many motorists abandoned their vehicles and waded through knee-deep water which accumulated on both the carriageways of Delhi-Jaipur road, including Hero Honda Chowk, bringing traffic to a standstill with the tailback extending up to 15-20 km.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday called an emergency meeting in Chandigarh to tackle the ongoing traffic jam and waterlogging problem.
Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari had also ordered National Highways chief Raghav Chandra to send a team of officials to clear the traffic and submit a report to him.
