Cleansing of water courses drains and canals

The Council cleanses drains, canals, streams, rivulets and water courses with a view to allowing free flow of water. The river banks are cleaned and appropriate action are taken to prevent pooling of water. The aim behind such works is to prevent mosquito breeding which is the main cause of malaria and chickungunya.
During cyclonic and rainy seasons municipal workers also intervene to drain out flooded areas.
