About 600 voters in Kamarajar Nagar, Perungudi, plan to boycott the upcoming Assembly election, saying the DMK and AIADMK have failed to resolve a land-patta issue lasting more than five decades. Perungudi is part of the Sholinganallur Assembly constituency.

Created in 1984, Kamarajar Nagar has more than 200 plots. Residents say they have manual pattas but have not received computerised pattas; officials cite the Land Ceiling Act. The plots were purchased through the Kanniyakumari Nadar Association housing society, and residents say they obtained approvals, including manual pattas, and built houses.

Residents say the Supreme Court in 2016 upheld a Madras High Court order against a State government order designating the plots under the Land Ceiling Act. The Revenue Department has not issued computerised pattas, which are now mandatory for property sales after the department upgraded its system.

Ennore recorded nearly 15 cm of rain in nine hours ending 5.30 pm on Wednesday, December 3, as flooding continued in North Chennai after rain since Monday. Water entered around 60 houses in Ennore’s Ward 1, including VOC Nagar, Sathyavani Muthu Nagar, Ulaganathapuram and Kamaraj Nagar. The GCC relief centre at Kathivakkam Government High School was initially locked and opened later. Residents reported overflowing sewage drains, power cuts and water at least 1.5 feet deep in some homes.

Flooding affected streets in Perambur and knee-deep water in Kumaran Nagar, Red Hills, where rescue personnel used boats. Mullai Nagar, Vyasarpadi, had been nearly cleared using at least three heavy-duty pumps in each area, but 2–3 feet of water accumulated again after afternoon rain. Pumps continued operating at 7 pm. Pumps were also deployed at Pattalam. All 22 subways remained open after Ganesapuram subway was cleared. Waterlogging in T Nagar and Nungambakkam began receding by evening. GCC said 6.25 lakh food packets had been distributed since Monday and 103 medical camps held Wednesday.

A day after the first northeast monsoon rains flooded southern Chennai on Tuesday, water had receded in most affected areas by Wednesday. Waterlogging continued in Kamaraj Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur; Rajaji Nagar, Madipakkam; and Sai Balaji Nagar, Pallikaranai.

Tuesday flooding affected parts of Rajiv Gandhi Salai, including Perungudi, Karapakkam, Thoraipakkam, Perumbakkam and Sholinganallur; Ram Nagar and Kuberan Nagar in Madipakkam; Indira Nagar, Adyar and Thiruvanmiyur. Residents said the limited rainfall and time for water to clear helped prevent worse flooding. Okkiyum Maduvu and the marshland near ELCOT were packed with water hyacinth, residents said, calling for cleaning to reduce flooding in Perumbakkam, Sholinganallur and Thoraipakkam. Residents of Tambaram and Chromepet said some stormwater drains remained uncleared.

Perumbakkam Main Road had craters and potholes, while roads and service roads in Perungudi, Thoraipakkam and Sholinganallur were in poor condition. MGR Main Road, linking Velachery and Taramani to the IT Expressway and serving IT and ITES companies, had roadworks dug along both sides of its median. Roads in Ram Nagar and Kuberan Nagar were also cratered.
