Heavy Rain In Tamil Nadu; Schools In Chennai, 3 Districts Shut: 10 Points

Colleges in Chennai and three different districts have been ordered to remain shut for the following two days as heavy rain hammers a number of components of north coastal Tamil Nadu.

Chennai obtained a downpour via the evening, recording 21 cm of rainfall until 8.30 am this morning. A number of low-lying areas of the town had been flooded. 

The climate division has predicted that remoted locations in north coastal Tamil Nadu will obtain heavy to very heavy to extraordinarily heavy rainfall all through Sunday because of the affect of a cyclonic circulation in Bay of Bengal.

Whereas this spell of rain is more likely to cut back after tonight, the India Meteorological Division (IMD) has warned of extra rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday.

With the lakes round Chennai swelling, water is being launched from the Chembarambakkam lake. The 85.4 feet-high lake now has water until 82.35 toes. In 2015, Chennai was flooded as a consequence of sudden extreme discharge from Chembarambakkam lake.

Officers stated this common discharge of water is not going to result in flooding but when there may be extra rain, areas round Muduchur might get inundated.

A flood alert has been issued in Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu districts on the banks of River Adyar. Colleges have been ordered to remain shut in Thiruvallur, Chengalpattu and Kanchipuram districts.

Chief Minister M Okay Stalin has mentioned preparedness with district collectors and visited 14 waterlogged areas, together with Egmore, Padi bridge, Padi Bridge and Jawahar Nagar.

Following a request from the state authorities, the Nationwide Catastrophe Response Drive (NDRF) has deployed 4 groups to help in rescue operations.

The heavy rain has hit highway and rail companies. Although a couple of flights had been delayed, there was no main disruption in air companies, information company PTI reported.
