Continued incessant heavy showers in Chennai and adjoining Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu and Kancheepuram districts has left many suburban areas flooded with knee deep water. From Porur in the north to Pallavaram and Velacherry in the south, many low lying areas have been encircled by rain water. Further threat of flood remains as the Chembarambakkam and Poondi lakes are brimming up to the full capacity and water being released.
