Chennai rain snarls traffic; waterlogging reported on several arterial roads
A sharp evening shower left cars stranded on inner-city corridors as storm drains struggled to keep up with the first spell of the week.
A brief but intense shower brought parts of Chennai to a standstill on Tuesday evening, with waterlogging reported on several arterial roads and flyover approaches.
Why the city still floods
Civic engineers point to three familiar causes: clogged storm drains at the start of the season, low-lying junctions that act as bowls, and construction debris that migrates into culverts overnight.
Residents are asked to avoid underpasses during heavy rain and to report blocked grates through the civic app.
