Severe rains put many Madurai residents festival shopping on hold as roads were covered in stagnant water just five minutes after the rains.
“We had planned our entire festive shopping for today, but roads were flooding and preventing us from taking out two-wheeler,” said S Meenakshi, who was forced to turn back on Mattuthavani Main Road. “The corporation needs to step in immediately with preventive measures and drainage fixes for the weekend,” she said. Thousands of residents were forced to cancel their shopping plans and head back home, leaving traders anxious over missed sales targets.
