Chennai in water - a sneak peek into last week

For all those people who wanted to know how Chennai was during the last one week, here is a glimpse of it.

Streets filled with water - no place to walk
The famous 11 th avenue of Ashok Nagar - supposed to be a walker s paradise

11 th Avenue - Ashok Nagar
The same 11 th Avenue
West Mambalam inundated with water
A busy street which had a deserted look owing to the rains

People wading through knee deep water to come out
Motorists found it very difficult to commute - some brave souls fought the water.

A huge pond created by the rain gods in the middle of the road
An open drain posing danger for passer bys over flowing
Aranganathan subway filled to the brim
A Public transport bus completely immersed in water.
People thronged in hundreds to watch the subway filled with water
Aranganathan subway
