Several areas across city witness water-logging; unfinished road work & clogged drainage channels add to trouble

WITH the onset of the northeast monsoon, Chennai recorded an average rainfall of up to 4 cm on Tuesday, with heavy showers reported in the southern parts of the city. Medavakkam received the highest rainfall at 10 cm, followed by Okkiyam Thoraipakkam (9 cm), Sholinganallur and Kannagi Nagar (8 cm each), Injambakkam (6 cm), and Ayapakkam (5 cm). Light showers were recorded in areas such as MGR Nagar, Ambattur, and Kolathur.
Parts of the city witnessed water stagnation, including Gokilambal Nagar main road in Kannagi Nagar, Royapuram, GP Road in Mount Road, Royapettah High Road, Judge Jumbulingam Road in Mylapore, AGS Colony 3rd Main Road and 6th Cross Street in Velachery, and Dwaraga Nagar in Manali.
A resident of AGS Colony told TNIE that despite the construction of a stormwater drain in 2022-23 along the 3rd Main Road, it has failed to serve its purpose as water stagnation continues.
