The heavy rain on Sunday night and Monday in the city not only inundated low-level areas but also increased water flow in the Adyar river.
Though no alarm was sounded, people living in Gerugambakkam and Mallima Nagar, Ramachandra Nagar, Shiva Sankar Nagar and Shanmuga Nagar in Gowl Bazaar, vacated their houses, fearing floods if it rained harder for another day. Some families left for their relatives’ homes to celebrate Deepavali and were yet to return to their homes till Wednesday evening.
They said when the Adyar was in full spate, the causeway got flooded, forcing them to take a detour to reach across to Gerugambakkam, Kolapakkam and Porur or Kundrathur. The rain resulted in the river having a full flow of water, attracting the youth and children. Near the bridge on the road connecting Anakaputhur and Kundrathur, some men were spotted trying their hand at fishing.
