As the monsoon season intensifies, the Tambaram City Municipal Corporation has taken a major step to address chronic flooding in Pammal. The civic body has floated fresh tenders and earmarked funds under the 2025–26 general budget for new stormwater drains. These works aim to prevent waterlogging that routinely disrupts daily life during rains. Officials said the initiative is part of a citywide effort to modernise drainage infrastructure. The project also includes culverts to support heavy flow during downpours. Residents hope this will bring much-needed relief to flood-prone zones. (AI image)
