The heavy downpour in the city left the roads and houses of Semmancheri, Perumbakkam, and surrounding areas flooded on Sunday.
The Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) in the Semmancheri- Karambakkam- Sholinganallur stretch was inundated and its service roads and bylanes were waterlogged. Residents of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board tenements in Semmancheri were worried about the sewage mixed rainwater leading to mosquito menace and spread of diseases.
MM Karthick from Semmancheri said. “Sewage-mixed rainwater enters our homes. We have sent a one-month-old baby and her mother to another place, away from this mess. Some of us on the ground floor have shifted to our neighbors’ homes in higher floors. We find it extremely difficult to get drinking water and food. The price of all essentials like bread and vegetables have shot up here,” he added.
