Chennai Mayor Saidai Sa. Duraiswamy has announced that the Corporation will begin its pre – monsoon renovation work well ahead of the northeast monsoons.
‘During the previous DMK regime, the annual pre-monsoon meetings were conducted only during September and October. Through 2008 to 2011, all rain-related meetings were held just ahead of the northeast monsoon, resulting in water logging… The corporation has therefore advanced the meeting and pre-monsoon works like the desilting of drains and repair of battered roads, would start soon after the south west monsoon’, he said.
Other sources said, ‘Progress on the desilting will be monitored and the providing of logistical support will be examined, such as the positioning of motor pumps on bridges and subways, the formation of a tree removal squad and evacuation arrangements at mid-day meal centres and community halls.’
