Open manholes in Thiruvanmiyur colony

Reported by Anirudh Ramesh

Heavy rains battered the city for the past 48-72 hours, as a result of a depression that was formed on the coast of Tamil Nadu, which was followed by cyclonic winds,

The rain exposed some dangers in Kalakshetra Colony and the area round it.

There are quite a number of manholes on Kalakshetra Road, Thiruvanmiyur, along the stretch of road leading to L. B. Road.

The roads were flooded and water-logged. At some places, one came across open manholes and the sewage water was mixing with the flood water on the roads, thus making it difficult for pedestrians.

The open manholes posed a danegr to two-wheelers and to passers-by, who had to wade through the water on the road during night time.
