Chief Minister M.K. Stalin conducted an extensive inspection of flood-affected localities in Manali New Town and Vellivoyal village panchayat in north Chennai, assessing conditions following heavy surplus discharges from the Kosasthalaiyar river basin. Walking through flooded residential pockets, Stalin interacted with local families, distributed emergency relief packages, and listened to their immediate survival needs.

During discussions with irrigation and civic engineers on-site, the Chief Minister issued clear instructions to formulate long-term engineering safeguards. He directed authorities to construct reinforced retaining walls and protective bunds along vulnerable stretches of the Kosasthalaiyar river to ensure surplus floodwaters cannot breach riverbanks and enter human settlements during heavy rainfall events.

Stalin reaffirmed that his government priority is delivering immediate relief while executing permanent flood mitigation infrastructure. He directed public health teams to conduct mobile medical camps, distribute chlorine tablets, and disinfect affected neighbourhoods to avert waterborne illnesses among displaced residents.

Stalin direct engagement in flood-ravaged suburban areas provided tremendous comfort to distressed families. His hands-on leadership combined swift humanitarian aid with long-term infrastructure planning, ensuring durable flood security for vulnerable communities residing along northern Chennai waterways.
