Rained in.Now drain water out: Residents

A Madipakkam resident finds it difficult to get of her waterlogged house.

CHENNAI: Over 100 residents of Madipakkam staged a road roko on Monday alleging that the civic body had not taken any steps to drain out the rainwater that flooded the roads and their houses following the incessant rains on Sunday.

Residents from Ram Nagar, Sadasiva Nagar, South Ram Nagar blocked the road at Ballaiya Gardens, Madipakkam, on Monday.

They complained that rainwater mixed with sewage entered their homes. “The stench and mosquito menace are unbearable. If the area is not cleaned, we are sure to fall sick,” said a resident.

Thangaratinam, assistant commissioner of Madipakkam panchayat, arrived at the spot and assured of immediate action.
