Chennai: Areas like T Nagar, Alwarpet, Pulianthope, Velachery, Colathur, Korattur, and Payure Still Water Login even after Sunday night when the rain relented not because there are no waterways but because they are not built with the right gradient, slope and invert level or blocks that are not cleaned.
This, said Jayayaram Venkatesan from Arappor Iakkam, is proven that the city does not learn every lesson after 2015 floods.
“Thousands of Crores were spent on projects after 2015 and because corrupt implementing agencies and officials did not monitor projects well, we faced similar floods fear now.” The work of many publicly maintained water bodies such as velachhery canals advantages not widening and de-buried mud even though residents write to the department in September.
On Sunday night, the culverts were only laid on EVR Periyar Salai, near the new Commissioner Police Station, which helped a little because only two of the five were intended to drain water at 1,100 cubic feet per second (cusecs) built.
So, excess rain water cannot reach Canal Buckingham.
In some areas, disposal points are not related to the natural drain just like in Nelson Manickam Road.
“This is the fact that the otory nallah, the Thanickachalam canal, Kodungairy canal always overflows during rain.
If we connect all channels for this channel, how to drain water, “asked a company official.
The company’s water channel-built in various fields such as Korattur and Korattur did not function as they were connected to the main sewer on an increase in the Inner Ring Road.
Mullai Nagar was flooded because the Kodungairy canal was violated and not due to heavy rain.
All areas that should not flow into the connected canal.
In T Nagar, the civil body does not focus on the mambalam canal and removed the block only on Monday.
In Velachery, the waterways connected to the lake that always overflows not to the Adyar River.
A company engineer said civil bodies will take corrective steps in the next rainy season.
For example, all water from Avadi flows to Koreatur, Retalian and Colathur.
We need to find alternative steps if we need to de-clog the next monsoon regions.
