Chennai Corporation will soon finalise plans for Stormwater drain in city’s southern parts

Residents demand data on drain designs in each locality

The Greater Chennai Corporation will finalise the alignment of stormwater drains (SWD) in the southern parts of the city next month, sources said. Senior officials said the stormwater drain alignment would be finalised based on demands from residents in zones such as Alandur, Perungudi and Sholinganallur. The work on stormwater drains was expected to begin before the onset of the northeast monsoon. Residential areas around the Pallikaranai marshland are expected to get better drains, improving flood preparedness in the area.
