Let’s leave aside the political blame game for a while, and instead look at factors, other than the torrential rains, that contributed to Chennai resembling an island of sorts. One of the major contributing factors has been a massive building plan violation as well as encroachments on land and water bodies.

At the time the Water Resources Department said that the area of 19 major lakes had shrunk from a total of 1130 hectares to nearly 645 hectares.
