Korattur

Korattur was once famous for its lakes and water bodies that have now been encroached and reduced to tiny ponds as a byproduct of industrial development. The huge lake called 'Korattur aeri' has now become a pile of wasteland and a collection of urban sewage.This makes the place highly notorious during the October-December rainy season for water logging. It is not unusual for people to wade in hip-deep water in the roads during this time thanks to sudden cyclonic downpour and improper drainage systems . But is the recent past Korattur has got good roads in Chennai city limits. The main road (East & Central Avenue) have been laid as 4 lane road with a median, such that each side has a 2 lanes with parking facility.
