Rain Rain Go Away

Laila has helped Chennai by showering her blessings on Chennai but not before wreaking havoc on the commuting public inside the city and its suburbs. Roads now resemble a beach resort where boats may ply. Every rain brings to the fore its own share of problems like water-clogged streets, power cuts, phone line failures, etc which we remember only till the next bout of summer dries out our roads. The expectations from local bodies in the city are mainly to provide motorable roads throughout the year, Drinking water and General Cleanliness/Hygiene. If the local bodies are not able to provide even these it takes away the charm of living in a metro and its suburbs. Ofcourse we are partly to blame by throwing all types of plastic garbage into the storm water drains. It is high time we take up a social view and think before dumping our waste.
