Chennai Floods: Nature Worst Phase

Chennai, the capital of the southern Indian state Tamil Nadu, is battling the worst rains in 100 years. From last month, the southern city has been transformed from a bustling hub of over 4.5 million people to a partly submerged wreck. 

More than 188 people have died in Tamil Nadu due to torrential rain havoc, and thousands have been forced to evacuate from their homes. “State police, fire and rescue services, state and national disaster response forces and coast guard are ready to rescue people using boats,” Tamil Nadu chief minister, J.Jayalalithaa, said last day. “Adequate precautionary measures are being taken to protect people.”

The government struggles in the rescue operations due to maximum percent of the city is submerged with water. The Chennai airport is closed with cancelling all the flights. Some more fears are still to come like the rain will continue next 48 hours

Already the govt. has started releasing 20,000 cubic feet per second of water from Chembarambakkam reservoir, the highest volume of outflow in several years.
