Chennai rains: Shutters of Chembarambakkam reservoirs opened after downpour
Heavy rains lashed Chennai and its suburbs since early Tuesday, prompting authorities to gear up for releasing surplus water from the Chembarambakkam Reservoir here and alert people living on the banks of the Adyar river to be on the vigil.
The incessant rains, which returned to the city after a break of several weeks, led to waterlogging in several roads, and motorists and others faced a tough time reaching their destinations.
The Met office here issued an alert for heavy rain (7 cm to 11 cm) at isolated places over Villupuram, Chengalpattu, Chennai, Kancheepuram, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, and Tiruvannamalai districts in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on Tuesday.
