Viral: Gurugram Employees Book Mini Truck To Reach Home Amid Severe Waterlogging Netizens Quip 'Corporate Majdoor'

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Gurugram came to a standstill on Monday after heavy rains caused massive waterlogging and hours-long traffic jams. Several videos of long queues of cars on the highway and people wading through the inundated roads, trying to carry their things, surfaced online.

But one video caught the attention of the Internet; several employees stuck outside their office resorted to“loading” themselves into a mini truck to reach home after cab bookings failed.

The viral video showed a group of Gurugram employees, dressed in office formals, boarding the mini truck. The camera then panned to show inside the mini truck, where men and women were seen standing, holding onto its roof for support.
