Chief Secretary V. Irai Anbu on Sunday inspected several projects of the Highways Department, including a macro drain, that will carry excess water from Pallavaram eri to Keezhkattalai eri and then to the Pallikaranai marsh.
Around 55% of the work has been completed and the project is scheduled to be completed by March 2023. Mr. Irai Anbu witnessed the demonstration of a bobcat vehicle which entered a drain to clean it.
He visited Anna Main Road in K.K. Nagar where a 1.50-km storm drain is being constructed, at a cost of ₹15 crore, to carry rainwater to the Adyar river in two phases.
