Chennai corporation blames unseasonal rains for slow work on storm water drains

The last week of August in Chennai witnessed moderate to heavy rainfall in many places across the city. The spell was unusual as Tamil Nadu usually gets its rain during the northeast monsoon which sets in during the second half of October.

Commuters had to face traffic jams, gridlocks and waterlogging on the streets, all aggravated further due to partially completed storm water drain (SWD) works.
