NHAI, however, says effort is on to cover the drains with concrete slabs Residents of Mogappair West have been demanding that the open stormwater drains along the service lanes off Chennai Bypass be covered as early as possible. The open drains continue to pose a threat to motorists, they said.
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has started ₹24.38-lakh work to cover the drains with cement slabs on a stretch of 700 metres along service lanes at Nolambur. This stretch has turned into an accident zone. A woman and her daughter died last month after the two-wheeler they were riding skidded and fell in the drain.
