Ditwah Cyclone effect.. Heavy rains in Chennai!

Heavy rains triggered by Cyclone Ditwah have caused widespread water-logging across Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu districts, bringing traffic to a standstill on several roads and authorities have closed multiple subways.

In view of the intense rainfall, the Tamil Nadu government has declared holidays for all schools and colleges in these four districts, citing the safety of students as the primary reason.

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin held an emergency review meeting with senior officials and directed immediate relief measures, including evacuation of residents from low-lying and water-logged areas to safer locations.
