In localities such as Mudichur, Pallavaram, Tambaram and Varadarajapuram, the situation was no different. Residents in Mudichur had to wade through 2-3 ft of water, which had inundated their localities. In Kishkinta Nagar in Tambaram, residents living in tenements had to leave their homes, as the Pappan Canal overflowed, flooding their homes. Close to 200 families had to leave their homes and reside with their relatives, until the flood water had receded. The residents claimed that no official visited them.
