It didn’t rain as much as it was in the last two days, but some parts of the city remained water and without electricity supply.
Residents wonder when things will increase, remembering heavy rain estimated for the next few days.
Minister of Electricity V Senthil Balaji on Tuesday said supply was cut only for 0.1% of 40-lakh connections from the city for security reasons, but 4,650 households suffered.
Residents questioned the readiness of the authorities, if the rain only a day caused a lot of disaster.
Charles, a resident of Aziz Nagar in Kodambakam, was unable to work from home or could not contact a friend or official for the relief for the last 48 hours due to a power outage in his area.
All areas are under three feet of water.
On Tuesday, Charles naved water and asked for help from his neighbor on the next road and collected his phone.
He then told the authority and tweet about the land.
“EB department officials told us that they could not help us until the water was removed.
Corporate officials did not visit our area until I tweeted about it on Tuesday,” he said.
Another area that struggled against the power cuts for more than three days including Thiruvalur Street in West Mambalam, Ganapaapi Siva Nagar in Madhavram, Choola, Otterically, many parts of T Nagar, Pengambur, and Anna Nagar 11 Avenue.
“Electricity supply is cut to maintain public security in mind.

On Monday, more than 12,000 power connections are suspended.
At present the number has dropped because of our efforts.
Our top priority is Public safety and all efforts for that, “said Senthil Balaji.
Which makes public frustration more not a power outage, but non-communication and lack of alternative arrangements.
“Over the past 30 years, every time it rains in our area, there will be a power outage.
But only in 2015, whether we go without power for more than four days.
It hasn’t dropped this time, so we don’t understand the need for power breaking for more Of the three days.
