Residents in the suburbs place several demands before the Central team
Residents of the suburban areas along the banks of the Adyar have demanded better civic infrastructure for flood control.
When the Central team toured the suburbs on Monday to assess the damage caused by the recent rain, representatives of residents’ association submitted petitions to it requesting flood mitigation projects in their area and pointed to the delay in the implementation of projects after the 2015 floods.
Over 1.5 lakh people live in areas such as Varadharajapuram and Mudichur along the banks of the Adyar. They are prone to be affected by floods whenever large quantum of water is released from the Chembarambakkam tank.

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.
