Waterlogging, inadequate sewer lines remain top problems in Kodambakkam
Among the bigger zones of the Greater Chennai Corporation, Kodambakkam, which encompasses 16 wards, has a host of concerns that residents hope will be addressed by the Councillors after the civic election.
Over the last few years, several parts of the zone have become well connected through Metro Rail lines and many areas have seen rapid development. Basic amenities still remain a concern in several wards in the zone, which has both residential areas and bustling commercial roads.
Several parts of the zone, including T. Nagar, West Mambalam, K.K. Nagar, Ashok Nagar and Saidapet, were waterlogged during rain in November and December. Roads being waterlogged for several days everytime there is a sharp spell of rain has become a regular phenomenon.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
