Incessant rainfall since early Wednesday morning brought life to a grinding halt in this satellite city with reports of waterlogging and traffic snarls pouring in.
More than 40 places in the city, including major key points on the expressway, have been hit by water-logging. Similar reports were received from old Delhi-Gurugram road and the Delhi-Jaipur expressway.
