Chennai is seeing one of the worst flooding conditions in recent memory and as always every time we make the same noises. Bad planning, poor execution and so on so forth.
When will this be stopped or will it at all? The case in OMR is so pathetic. A new toll road constructed without proper drains and culverts. Building permission have been issued for so many multi stories buildings, with out holding them accountable for the storm water discharge from their compound to the public area. In short basic civic planning norms are never applied when engineering works are approved.
Add to that is the excess that every builder seems to have the right to commit. And this adds to the citizens woes. The productivity loss and the personal suffering which individuals go through are never under consideration.
On the other side 25 TMC ft of water has been discharged to the sea. No serious plan has ever been thought of to hold this runaway water and use it for basic needs.
My voice is one of the many which is overruled at the ballot as the local elections are so severely manipulated that this sorry state of affairs will continue for many decades to come.
