Several policemen, including senior officials, got out of the comfort of their offices onto the roads to resolve traffic issues and waterlogging at various locations.

According to the 4pm update on Saturday, 85 roads were waterlogged and faced slow-moving traffic in the city. Seven subways—Sundaram point, Rangarajapuram, Palavanthangal, Gengureddy, Aranganathan, Madley and Duraisamy—were closed for motorists (the latter two only for light vehicles).

During the day, some roads like GP road, Alagappa and Ritherdon roads were closed by the police due to inundation.
