At the council meeting on Tuesday, Tambaram Corporation commissioner S Balachander announced that a fresh detailed project report (DPR) would be drawn up to extend UGD coverage.

This was in response to complaints that deposits for underground drainage (UGD) connections were collected from residents in areas not covered in the existing scope of the project. He added that any deposits collected in areas where UGD work has not started will be refunded.

The commissioner also said that ward-wise coordination teams will be formed to address civic issues after councillors complained that there was a lack of coordination when carrying out large scale projects like underground drainage which cuts across multiple wards simultaneously.
