CHENNAI: Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin launched a series of development works at the Virugambakkam canal for approximately Rs 30 crore on Monday.

The initiative is a pre-emptive measure ahead of the impending Northeast Monsoon season. The key projects launched include dredging and desilting of the canal, raising existing retaining walls, and installation of chain-link fencing.

These works are expected to enhance the canal's capacity, prevent overflow, and ensure public safety during heavy rainfall.
