Answer:

The CAG report makes particular mention of the operating of the Chembarambakkam tank between December 1, 2015, and the next day. "The discharge of water continuously from 29000 cusec for 21 hours from 01/12/2015 -- 1800 hours to 02/12/2015 -- 1500 hours into the Adyar river coupled with surplus water from upstream are and catchment area caused huge flow of flood water into Adyar river."

The report categorically states the "injudicious decision to indiscriminately increase the discharge of water from 12000 cusec to 29000 cusec" has proved that the disaster was indeed a "man-made" catastrophe.

The 127-page report also detailed various inefficiencies on the part of the state water resources department in installing warning systems. It also called for a detailed Inquiry into the officials responsible for the operation of the Chembarambakkam reservoir.

The report also mentioned that "no records were made available to the audit to ascertain the fact that the tank in-charge communicated with the government/ departmental authorities on the incoming flood."
