These instructions fall under the GCC's mandate to manage civic services, including drainage and desilting, within its operational areas. The Adyar estuary, which is a dynamic river system, is under active inspection and management protocols by the GCC. The work is part of a larger effort to enhance infrastructure resilience ahead of the monsoon season.
