Some rain, a little flooding

The recent rainfall in Chennai caused water logging in areas like Velachery and Alandur. However, the storm water drain network held up in most places as the rainfall was intermittent. Residents reported damaged roads and newer potholes after the rain. The Greater Chennai Corporation blamed the Race Course for pumping water into drains, causing overflow. The Indian Meteorological Department forecasted moderate rainfall until Saturday noon, followed by light to moderate rainfall. The state disaster management department is taking measures to prevent water breaching bunds and mobilizing pumps in low-lying areas.
