Watch: Schoolgirl reports on waterlogging problem in Kurukshetra, Haryana
‘The swift flow of the water here is making it difficult to walk through it’, the girl says, pretending to be a news reporter.

For many in urban India, the monsoon is an extreme sport of sorts, thanks to waterlogging.
An incident of waterlogging in the town of Kurukshetra in Haryana is drawing the attention of social media users. In a video posted on Twitter, a schoolgirl is seen walking through a waterlogged street, perhaps her neighbourhood, and enacting the role of a journalist reporting on the situation.
The water is quite deep and visibly dirty, and the girl needs a wooden stick to wade through it. She also points out how houses are using bags of cement to prevent water from entering.
A similar incident had occurred in February 2019 as well, when a 15-year-old Kashmiri girl had become an internet sensation after her reportage on snowfall had gone viral.
