Canal Improvement Project At Anna Nagar East

Work on restoration of Chennai’s waterways by the Public Works Department and Chennai Corporation is gaining momentum. Various canal improvement projects are going on around Chennai city to ensure free flow of rain water during the monsoon season. 

A huge part of 3rd Avenue stretch at Anna Nagar East has been dug up for carrying out a canal improvement work. Huge pre-cast blocks are used for constructing the water channel at Anna Nagar East. 

The project undertaken by the Public Works Department is progressing well under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission scheme. Sixth Avenue Residents can now heave a sigh of relief during the monsoon as Public Works Department had recently cleaned up the Otteri Nullah and constructed strong high raised wall on both sides. 

Tamil Nadu State Government is spending a huge amount for cleaning and improving Chennai’s waterways and canals under the Chennai Waterways Rehabilitation programme. More over the canal rehabilitation programme will also cover preventative and safety measures to protect the city’s waterways.
