Various civic issues were discussed at the meet, with the design of stormwater drains (SWDs) at KAMPERS dominating the discussion. KAMPERS consists of Kailash Nagar, Mookambigai Nagar, Perumal Nagar, Rathinam Nagar, Sairam Nagar, Shanthi Nagar, Gurudev Colony, Indira Priyadarshini Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Prabhu Nagar and Anandammal Nagar. Residents pointed out that the stormwater drains had been constructed over a culvert and was at a level higher than the Sholinganallur-Medavakkam Road. Residents want the stormwater drains to be re-constructed to ensure rainwater from the above-mentioned localities drained into them. Of the 22 interior roads in Perumbakkam, only three roads — Kailash Nagar First Street, Kailash Nagar Second Street and Kailash Nagar Third Street — have a concrete surface.
