"Flood prevention works carried out by the state government in Chennai have indeed helped manage heavy rains in the city. We have been taking precautionary steps to face the northeast monsoon. When the DMK government assumed office in 2021, a committee headed by retired IAS Officer V Thiruppugazh was appointed to recommend flood prevention measures for Chennai," the CM said, while inspecting rain-hit locations in Pallikaranai and other areas.
