Management of rain water

When the first rains came in October some areas were flooded in North Chennai. The administration took action and during the second rains these areas were better off with new victims in South and West Chennai.

Now from last evening it is raining and our office street is coping up nicely without having to bear the water rushing in from the Alapakkam Eri. Temporaray drains have been dug from Alapakkam to the Cooum to carry the water there rather than letting it flow through to Valasarawakkam area.

With sympathy to Jayalalitha, I am happy to say that the government is acting. What we need now is far sighted planning and visionary leadership. Hope another election win will provide her that. Take it from me she is going to become the Chief Minister after the next elections, whatever happens to the opposition koottani.
