How TVS Colony residents got monsoon-ready

They pool in money to construct a rainwater harvesting pit on 48th Street
Residents of 48th Street at TVS Colony in Anna Nagar Western Extension acted prudently before the onset of North East Monsoon, pooling in money for the construction of a rainwater harvesting pit at a spot prone to stagnation.
“The pit got ready two weeks ago and for the rain that we have received so far the system has fared well,” says N Prasanth, a resident of the street. However, the pit has to pass an acid test for the residents to see value in having more of them constructed.
There are 20 houses on the street and as the road has not been laid properly, it is therefore uneven and collects water.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
