Chennai Completes Most Flood Mitigation Works but Some Projects Remain Incomplete Ahead of Monsoon
The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has completed 57 of 63 flood-mitigation works recommended by the Thiruppugazh Committee, investing over ₹307 crore in stormwater drains, sensors, and silt catchpits. However, some civic projects remain incomplete in areas like Korattur and Saidapet, affecting monsoon preparedness. GCC officials have proposed alternative measures and urged the National Highways Authority of India to expedite debris removal from the Cooum River to improve drainage before the Northeast monsoon.
