Two viral videos from Noida have highlighted severe waterlogging after monsoon rains, with residents mocking the city's 'planned' tag. According to Hindustan Times, a woman named Vaishnavi filmed Sector 18's waterlogged road and joked that a boat would have been more useful than a car. In another video reported by Livemint, Aanchal Singh showed a flooded basement in her premium society, questioning whether tenants paying Rs 30,000 rent and Rs 4,000 maintenance get basic infrastructure or just an expensive address. The clips drew sarcastic social media responses comparing Noida to Venice and Gurugram. Both videos have revived complaints about poor drainage and civic upkeep despite high property costs in the Delhi-NCR region.
