The Ambattur Industrial Estate, which houses some crucial micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) units, continued to be inundated on Tuesday. It is estimated that the loss for the estate caused by the rain could be over ₹500 crore.
Chennai and its surrounding places witnessed massive rain since Sunday, owing to the cyclonic storm Michaung. “Many tress have fallen inside the estate. We are clearing it. Water has receded in the south phase. But the north phase continues to be inaccessible. The water level at the north phase is around 4 feet. Only when it clears, we can assess the damages,” G. Aravind, president, Ambattur Industrial Estate Manufacturer’s Association, said.
