CHENNAI: As heavy rains lash the southern suburbs, several areas in Tambaram and Chengalpet are grappling with inundation, causing significant disruptions to access essential services. Chengalpet District Collector Rahul Nadh has advised residents to stay at home for safety.
While rainwater drains are still under construction in certain regions, numerous internal roads in East Tambaram, Mudichur, Selaiyur, Keelkattalai, and Anakaputhur remain submerged. Minister of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises T M Anbarasan said, "I have told the Water Resources Department and Corporation officials to supervise areas where drains are being constructed and arrange motor pumps to reduce waterlogging."
