Gurgaon witnessed a chaotic school commute on Monday after heavy rain flooded several roads and brought traffic to a standstill, leaving children trapped inside school buses for hours. A Class 2 girl, Kiara, left her school in Sector 47 at around 12.30pm but reached her home in Sector 51 only at 8.30pm, leaving her traumatised and stressed. The Times of India reported the incident.
Kiara was among several children who spent between three and six hours inside school buses as waterlogged roads and traffic jams blocked their routes. Parents could only track buses, call schools and exchange updates on messaging groups as the situation worsened across Gurgaon.
