New drains on two sides of R. H. Road; now to link them and hope flooding does not take place

The newlylaid storm water drain in Sivaswami Salai zone of Mylapore has to be linked with the SWD on the other side, near Sanskrit College for the project to be completed.

Work on the new SWD on Mundakakanni Amman Koil Street is almost over and with the last leg of work on now, linking up is key. And this will entail laying a drain across the busy road. The key the levels of the drain for smooth flow of water from west to east and further.

The drain will eventually carry flood water into the Buckingham Canal.

The road that was shut near the now-defunct ThannniThurai market complex is now open for two wheelers to start with.
