However, problems of water stagnation continued in some parts of the city and its suburbs such as Pallikaranai. Sun came out in Chennai and neighbouring districts, raising hopes of stagnant water receding. With the northeast monsoon active in the state and neighbouring Puducherry, Chennai city (Nungambakkam) recorded 65.8 mm of rainfall while suburban Meenambakkam registered 62 mm rains in 24 hours ending 8.30 am on Sunday. The Met department said rain or thundershowers were likely to occur at many places over coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and at a few places over interior Tamil Nadu. "Except for some minor delays, train services including Chennai Suburban Services are being maintained normally and monitored continuously by railway officials," they said.
