Several streets in AGS Colony in Velachery remained under knee-deep water following heavy rains. "During Cyclone Michaung, water entered the ground-floor houses. Now, it has reached our parking area. We hope the rains will stop soon," said a resident of AGS Colony. Residents said that while there was reduced water stagnation during brief rain spells earlier this year, even slightly heavier rainfall still leads to knee-deep water stagnation affecting their daily life.
Geetha Ganesh, secretary of AGS Residents Welfare Association, said, "The corporation has set up motors to pump out water. The water level is receding as it has not rained much post-noon. However, the water level is receding slowly, hindered by the overflowing of Veerangal Odai since this morning."
