Tragedy: Dead Body carried in the floodwaters
The Discharge from the Cholingar lake has been above the limits and more water is been released into the canal area. Due to this, many dead bodies started to float and were swept away in the overflowing waters. This situation persists in the Somasundaran colony in the Ranipettai district near Cholinar lake. This area has a population of over 1300. Nearby the area, there is a canal that takes in excess water from the lake. Due to the lack of a raised road, many people use the canal to walk through the Cholinagar. Due to heavy rains in the recent days in many places, the water is being overflowed. The surplus water had made the canal flooded.
