Chief Minister Vijay today chaired a high-level review meeting at the Secretariat to address the impending North East Monsoon preparedness. The TVK government has officially sanctioned a special relief fund of ₹450 crore to bolster urban drainage infrastructure in Chennai and surrounding districts. The new guidelines prioritize the immediate desilting of storm-water drains and the deployment of rapid response teams in low-lying areas.
This policy shift marks a departure from previous ad-hoc measures, focusing on a permanent 'Flood-Resilient Infrastructure' framework. The CM emphasized that the 'Makkalodu Vijay' grievance portal will now include a real-time tracking feature for citizens to report waterlogging, ensuring accountability at the municipal commissioner level.
Opposition leaders have questioned the timing of the fund release, citing delays in tender processing. However, the government maintains that the allocation is based on a scientific assessment of flood-prone zones identified by the State Disaster Management Authority.
