The Haryana government on Friday withdrew the transfer of Municipal Corporation of Gurugram commissioner Pradeep Dahiya within 24 hours of issuing the order, a rare reversal amid severe waterlogging and three reported rain-related deaths. Dahiya had been moved to Rohtak in a routine reshuffle; the government later appointed another officer as MCG commissioner. Dahiya said he was unaware of the reason for the revocation. The city recorded 115 mm of rain in 33 hours, causing traffic chaos and waterlogging in several sectors. Officials claimed water receded within two hours in most areas.
