Chennai Mayor Saidai Sa. Duraiswamy has announced that the Corporation will begin its pre � monsoon renovation work well ahead of the northeast monsoons.
�During the previous DMK regime, the ann�ual pre-monsoon meetings were conducted only during Sept�ember and October. Through 2008 to 2011, all rain-related meetings were held just ahead of the nort�heast monsoon, resulting in water logging� The corporation has therefore advanced the meeting and pre-monsoon wor�ks like the desilting of drains and repair of battered roads, would start soon after the south west monsoon�, he said.
Other sources said, �Prog�ress on the desilting will be monitored and the providing of logistical support will be examined, such as the positioning of motor pumps on bridges and subways, the formation of a tree removal squad and evacuation arrangements at mid-day meal centres and community halls.�
