Noida Rain: After the rain, the problem of waterlogging in Noida is once again in the news. A video of heavy waterlogging on the roads of Sector 18, one of the city’s busiest areas, is going viral on social media. The video shows several feet of water on the road, and vehicles can be seen wading through it.

Meanwhile, a woman named Vaishnavi, sitting in a car, took a video of the road conditions and questioned the city’s drainage system. She sarcastically remarked that a boat should have been used instead of a car. She also questioned why such a situation was developing after rain in Noida, known as a planned and developed city.

This video was shared on Instagram by the handle @vaishgupta. In the video, the woman is seen saying that there is so much water on the Sector 18 road that it is difficult to pass through. She added that bikes and other vehicles are driving through the water, causing inconvenience to pedestrians and other drivers.

The woman, taking a dig at the waterlogging, said that perhaps they should have come here by boat instead of a car. She captioned the video, “Is Noida also becoming Gurgaon?” Following the video, social media users also expressed their reactions to the waterlogging. Some called it “Venice, Noida Edition,” while one user wrote, “Planned city, unplanned drainage.”

The woman said – you should have come by boat, not car.

Waterlogging after rain is not a new problem in Noida. Despite the city’s wide roads and modern infrastructure, complaints of waterlogging continue to surface in many areas during the monsoon. Problems such as drain cleaning, drainage, and encroachment are often cited as the reasons behind this.

Sector 18 is a major commercial area, attracting a large number of visitors daily. Consequently, waterlogging on the road causes problems for traffic and pedestrians. The viral video has once again raised questions about how effective the city’s drainage system is during heavy rains and whether residents are receiving the basic amenities expected of a planned city.
