Sohna took the maximum brunt with 82 mm of rain, followed by Badshahpur at 74 mm and Wazirabad at 68.5 mm.
The delay in deploying suction pumps and dewatering equipment further aggravated the situation, residents across other upscale areas claimed.
Ahishek Sharma of C-2 Block at Palam Vihar said that waterlogged streets in his neighbourhood reminded him of annual monsoon mayhem.
“The recording machine at my ward office saw over 100 mm of rain today… It is disastrous.
Still, all pumps worked efficiently in my ward through online complaints on social media indicating otherwise,” he said.
