Chief Minister M.K. Stalin conducted intensive on-site inspections at the major drinking water reservoirs of Puzhal and Chembarambakkam to assess water storage levels, structural safety, and flood management readiness ahead of the Northeast Monsoon. Walking along the reservoir bunds, Stalin closely examined surplus sluice gates, discharge channels, and inflow canals. He instructed water resources engineers and district administrators to prevent the entry of untreated sewage and immediately clear water hyacinth, silt, and encroachments that impede natural flows.
