CHENNAI: In a major push to make the Tamil Nadu city flood-resilient, the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) has prepared a comprehensive Rs 2, 200-crore project to revamp and expand the stormwater drainage network across all 100 wards.
The initiative aims to eliminate waterlogging and flooding during monsoons, a recurring problem that has plagued the city for years.
At present, while underground drainage works are underway in several neighbourhoods, many residential and commercial zones continue to experience severe water stagnation and traffic disruptions due to inadequate stormwater infrastructure.
