Men Carry Scooter Over Stalled Traffic in Gurugram as Clip Goes Viral

The footage has become shorthand for rain‑fueled gridlock during ongoing IMD weather alerts.

Overview

  • A roughly 12‑second video shows two men lifting a scooter onto their shoulders and moving past lanes of halted cars and motorbikes.
  • The clip circulated widely after posts on Instagram by Gurgaon Locals and a reshared post on X by user Aaraynsh.
  • Days of heavy rain left major Gurugram roads and underpasses waterlogged, with the IMD issuing warnings for moderate to heavy rainfall.
  • Officials responded with work‑from‑home advisories, online schooling, and the deployment of more than a thousand personnel with pumps and cranes to clear flood hotspots.
  • Some coverage noted the virality but cautioned that details of the original post could not be independently verified.
