The Greater Chennai Corporation had in its City Disaster Management Perspective Plan mentioned that solid waste management after the 2015 floods was the most challenging task. But, after the recent floods inflicted on the city by cyclone Michuang, the civic body has been confronted by a greater challenge in cleaning water bodies and their banks, particularly in Ennore and Manali, that have been affected by oil spill.
From December 6 to December 23, conservancy workers collected 1,38,998 tonnes of waste from all 15 zones.
