Owing to the downpour, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has closed all underpasses and subways for non-motorised transport (NMT), and pedestrians for public use till the rains last.
The minister threatened to scale up his protests if the demands are not met. “This is the initial stage of our peaceful protest. If the demands remain unfulfilled, we will go in for further protests,” he said. He said that state chief minister Mamata Banerjee had written to road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari but no action had been taken.
This is the scenario that Delhi motorists fear every time underpasses in the city get flooded.
