Rain subsides in Chennai, civic authorities work round the clock to pump out water
India Today
Chennai and several areas in Chengelpet, Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram districts remained flooded as civic body authorities worked to pump out water.
Rainfall in Chennai and its suburbs subsided on Friday, bringing a much needed respite for residents from intense showers that have battered Tamil Nadu since last week. To enable smooth commutation in #Chennai, major roads are focused and water logging is being cleared. In many places GCC staff worked all night to clear water logging.Dewatering at Ashok Pillar #ChennaiRains#ChennaiCorporation pic.twitter.com/EHjnoY0gL4
The rain fury left a trail of destruction in several districts -- submerged crops, uprooted trees, flooded neighbourhoods and over 1,000 damaged huts and houses. As many as 14 people were killed in rain-related incidents in the state.
