Tambaram corpn gears up to tackle monsoon
The New Indian Express
|October 08, 2024
LEAVING nothing to chance this year, the Tambaram City Municipal Corporation (TCMC) has intensified its preparations for the upcoming Northeast monsoon season.
It has identified over 32 areas that are highly vulnerable to inundation and initiated a series of flood prevention measures such as desilting of canals and other vital infrastructural work. In a proactive approach, the TCMC has already stationed 11 diesel pumps at strategic locations to drain floodwater in case of heavy rainfall.
Last year's monsoon posed a significant challenge for the civic body, with incessant showers causing widespread flooding in several areas, including Varadharajapuram, Mudichur, parts of Anakaputhur and others. Many neighbourhoods were severely impacted, leading to property damage, disruptions in daily life, and public outcry for better preparedness.
Prolonged water stagnation in some areas highlighted the need for a more robust flood prevention infrastructure.
