Water logging in Chennai

Chennai's water log is the worst thing i have ever seen...the continual rains and power cuts resulting from it is believed to be an after effect of the tsunami..check out these photographs...this is how the Marina Beach looked during the tsunami.
This is how our roads look because of the floods. I was lucky to find these pictures online...Our Chennai roads are not built for the rains...I heard somewhere that this is the worst rains everyone has seen in 60 years or something..although i feel it might be an exaggeration, i can totally empathize with their feelings. It drizzles continously and is deadly cold out here...Although school children seem to enjoy it since it means extra holidays due to the rains, for us adults, it is a hazzle to our daily routines...
The roads are full of pots and holes which fill up with rain water and all other kinds of water during such times. The worst i have seen is the seweges overflowing all its contents on to the roads. YUCK!!!! But it is predictable since the rain water harvesting plans were never carried out on the roads...The rain water is directed into the sewers and our seweges are not built for such an overload and hence overflow onto the roads!!!! who will rectify these? We need help PPL!!!!!
