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
Fire service department rescues the stranded people in boats in Chennai suburbs. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress
Here’s a full video of flooding in Mudichur from the Outer Ring Road. Hundreds of families are stranded. Some have already vacated. @xpresstn@NewIndianXpress#Chennai
With intense flooding, members from residents welfare associations in Mudichur locality discuss on how the water can be removed.
Pic 2) A Mahindra thar comes out of a water flooded street. It’s grill is filled with garbage (indicating the high water level)

Houses for Irulars supposedly worth Rs 1.7 lakh built under PMAY scheme 4 years ago in this Chengalpet village lack ceilings, doors, windows and half-built. This has left 19 tribal families get drenched in rains. @PMOIndia@mkstalin@Kayalvizhi_N
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.
Samples of houses built under the same scheme in Kerala & Kanyakumari district.
