A problem in Velachery

The open drainage located in Velachery, starting from the Velachery to Madipakkam bridge and ending at the turning of the 100ft road(~2.5 km), is very polluted and has not been cleaned for a long time causing the area to stink. People are further polluting it by throwing more wastes that clogs the drainage, thus making it less efficient during floods and rains.
