Revenue Divisional Commissioners (RDCs) have begun city‑wide inspections of drainage systems, pumping stations and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) preparations across Chennai as the Northeast monsoon brings heavy rainfall.
The oversight aims to keep waterways clear and verify that emergency equipment is ready, reducing flood risk in a city prone to waterlogging during the rainy season.
The inspections are part of the corporation's monsoon preparedness drive. No further actions have been announced beyond the current checks.
