CHENNAI flood results: Recovered but not relieved

Everyone knew about the agony Chennai faced. The authorities are still in the process of calculating the damages and the heavy loses of the residents of Chennai. Two weeks had gone after the massive flood washed away the main veins of Chennai. The real suffers are the middle class and the lower middle class people. But of course, the flood even drenched thousands and thousands of four wheelers. So, everybody suffered, irrespective of class, creed and caste. 

It is indeed a great lesson for the people of Chennai as well for the Tamil Nadu Government to learn the consequences during such calamities. Now, a time has come to know the low line areas in Chennai where Government should announce the problems in the entire district of Chennai. These will definitely create a great awareness among the people of Chennai.

During the heavy rainfall, the rivers and streams are in spate and breach their bank and the irrigation tanks overflow and cause heavy damage to the embankments and structures.

                    
  
Mechanic shops are getting busy since the city is getting dried. Some of the mechanic shops in Pudhupet flooded with heavy water though most of the vehicles have been flashed out. Mechanics are facing the toughest time of repairing hell out of vehicles in their hands. Few of them offer free services for the affected people. It is said that there were more than 500 people near pudhupet who has stayed in Corporation school because of heavy water flood. 

Virugambakkam is another worst affected area. The main road for transportation is the Arcot road, where there are lots of ditches, ups and downs. It’s really hard to believe that, the PWD, Metro water, Corporation are still working hard and fighting to drain the stagnating water in many parts of the city. Rehabilitation work is going on where the roads which are near to the place are also getting affected. Even the pedestrian crossing have been flooded whereas people couldn't walk to the bus stand. More efforts and efficiency is needed not only for the Government machine also to every individual to make Chennai back to its position.
