Meanwhile, the impending monsoon leads to concerns with the public over a dam that may breach due to heavy rainfall.
Mahendran is displeased with Shobha's posting, as Prajas approaches him pledging to forget his political affiliation and join Mahendran's union if he is relieved from control room duty.

Biju agrees to help Mahendran when he realises that the only way to trap those responsible for the scandal is to investigate the land document records.
