Madurai — home to the iconic Meenakshi Amman Temple — is bisected by the Vaigai River and served by an extensive canal and stormwater drain network maintained by the Madurai City Corporation. Urban expansion along river banks and congested drainage in heritage zones create persistent flooding risk during the NE Monsoon (Oct–Dec).
VARMAN operates across all 100 MCC wards — from the heritage core near the Meenakshi Temple to suburban zones like Villapuram, Anaiyur, and Kochadai — deploying jetting trucks, mechanical excavators, and suction tankers.
