Among the projects are the Integrated Storm Water Drain Project in Kosasthalaiyar and Kovalam basins and the Intelligent Transport System
Work on major civic infrastructure projects with an expenditure of over ₹100 crore is set to be fast-tracked in various parts of the city.
As part of this initiative, low-lying residential areas such as Madipakkam in the western parts of Pallikaranai marshland are expected to get better drains to improve disaster preparedness in the long term.
The KfW mission, which reached the city on October 18, to assess the situation ahead of funding for the stormwater drain project in Kovalam basin, has reportedly decided to fast track the project.
