Why do cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram flood every monsoon despite spending thousands of crores on drainage infrastructure? Is heavy rainfall the only reason, or is the real problem hidden beneath our streets? In this video, we break down the real causes behind India’s recurring urban flooding. From outdated drainage systems and unplanned urbanisation to disappearing wetlands, encroachments, climate change, high tides in Mumbai, and poor infrastructure planning, we explain why a few hours of rain can bring entire cities to a standstill. We also examine the role of government agencies, drainage budgets, accountability, and whether India’s flood crisis can actually be solved. Finally, we discuss expert-recommended solutions, the Sponge City model, and practical safety tips for citizens during heavy rainfall. #MumbaiFloods #DelhiRain #DelhiNCR #Gurugram #UrbanFlooding #IndiaFloods #DrainageSystem #ClimateChange #Monsoon #explained #jist #Jistnews
