Visuals of houses submerged in #Miduchur, in Chennai suburbs. The residents have vacated. There’s no entry or exit to these houses as water has completely engulfed this neighbourhood of Varadarajapuram. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress#chennaifloods2021
If not for the Municipality sign board, one can’t recognise if this is a street or not. A whole neighbourhood in #MullaiNagar at Mudichir looks like a big water body after it was flooded due to rains. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress#Chennai
Rain hasn’t spared event the costly apartments. A huge gated community with about 500 houses witness severe inundation in Mudichur. Luckily, these apartments don’t have a ground floor house but all the residents have moved their cars out. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress
Another clear example of houses being built on natural waterways. A heavy stream of water from a nearby lake runs in towards the residential colony submerging them. Locals are left clueless & the only option they have is vacate. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress#Chennai
Flooding has sparked up fishing hobby among locals. This was caught by the locals from water flooding into a residential colony in Mudichur. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress
A small tractor fitted with motor is trying to pump out all water from Mudichur into a storm water drain in Outer Ring Road. May take several hours given the magnitude of flooding. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress#ChennaiFlood
Fire and rescue staff monitoring the situation in Mudichur in drones from Outer Ring Road. Stranded people in their apartment terrace can be seen. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress#Chennai

A look at the quality of houses built under the Pradhan Matri Awas Yojana scheme. Are these even houses and do they look like they’re worth 1.7 lakh? A field report I did for @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress.
