After the rains stopped, 90 % of the roads had turned dusty with cracks and potholes, leading to hardships to residents and motorists.
With the north east monsoon, the city and peripheries experienced severe rainfall during November-December 2020. When the rains stopped, the unseasonal rainfall for about 10 days in January led to chaos. Many dwellings were inundated. Low lying areas were under water for about a week or even more.
The Corporation authorities used 150 giant size motors to pump the rain water out. Though there was relief, thickly populated zones and low lying areas such as Dhanasekaran Nagar, Muthammal Colony, Ram Nagar, Kurinji Nagar, Bryant Nagar among others continued to have nightmares to tell.
