Sewage & rainwater flood Tiruneermalai roads in Chennai

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: For the residents of Tiruneermalai’s Ranga Nagar, rain is nothing short of a nightmare. Every time it pours, they get into a high alert as rainwater mixed with the polluted water from Naatu Canal leads to flooding in this low-lying area. Because of garbage and sewage dumping, the capacity of the canal meant to take surplus water from Tiruneermalai Eri to Adyar river has reduced over the years and it overflows after a rain. “The health issues we got by living in houses that were flooded with polluted water is another story,” said K Sentamizhselvi, another resident. A water resources official said, “There is a proposal to construct a retaining wall for the canal under the Chennai River Restoration Trust scheme.
