India built bigger roads, flyovers and expressways. So why does rain still bring its cities to a standstill?

Indian cities face monsoon flooding despite extensive road construction projects. Heavy rainfall overwhelms drainage systems, causing widespread traffic disruptions and damage. Planned cities like Chandigarh also struggle with intense, short-duration rain events. Underlying urban systems and natural water channels have not kept pace with development. Addressing this requires improving drainage and preserving natural water bodies.
