THE Water Resources Department (WRD) is intensifying pre-monsoon work in Chennai, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, and Chengalpattu. The work is being carried out at the cost of ₹20 crore. WRD is planning to complete 80% of the work by the end of the week.
A senior WRD official said Chief Minister MK Stalin recently inspected flood mitigation works in South Chennai, including Velachery, Pallikaranai, Duraipakkam, and surrounding areas. "As per schedule, we started clearing debris, silt, weed, and blockage from waterways. This will ensure free flow of water and prevent inundation," he said.
He also pointed out that WRD is focusing on Buckingham Canal, Otteri Nullah, Virugambakkam Canal, and the river mouth and flood carrier drain in North and South Chennai, which would play a key role in draining flood water.
