No power supply for four days: residents
With extremely heavy rain predicted for the next 24 hours, many parts of north Chennai are still inundated.
Residents of areas, including Pulianthope, Pattalam and Pensioner’s Lane in Old Washermenpet are having a tough time as the neighbourhoods are waterlogged for the past four days. In many parts, rainwater mixed with sewage is turning the situation worse for the residents.
In Pattalam, Demellows Road, Strahans Road, K.M. Garden and Angalamman Koil Street remained under water. Angalamman Koil Street was one of the worst-hit with heavy waterlogging. Decaster Road in Pulianthope and its lanes were still inundated. The arterial stretches of Pulianthope High Road and Perambur Barracks Road were partially waterlogged, while a few parts of Old Washermanpet such as Pensioner’s Lane and Kathpada Road were also waterlogged. Some neighbourhoods in Tiruvottiyur had more than one-foot water.
