People in Pallikaranai want Corpn. to construct a channel
For over a week, water from Anai Eri, a large lake in Pallikaranai, has been flowing through the streets in Anna Nagar, Dilli Babu Nagar, Ambal Nagar and Chettinad Enclave.
“The water just keeps gushing without a pause, making walking or riding two-wheelers next to impossible. The flooding has also brought in snakes. The stormwater drain on our streets is hardly enough to carry the volume of water that is flowing,” said Srikanth, a resident of Chettinad Enclave.
At some points, during and after heavy rain, the water level reached over four feet, forcing residents to remain inside their houses.
