Rains since early this Sunday morning flooded many a street and road across the Mylapore zone.
A large avenue tree crashed on Kutchery Road east end while floodwaters from P S Sivaswami Salai entered the campus of Vivekananda College located on this road which generally floods despite new drains. Some people here say waters from the local areas flow into this zone and hence the flooding. ( top photo)
