The Migjam cyclone, which formed in the Bay of Bengal, approached Chennai yesterday. The cyclone intensified to a severe cyclone, causing heavy rains in many parts of the city. The rains, which began on the night before yesterday, continued to pour in many parts until late last night. As a result, water stagnated in all parts of Chennai, creating a precarious situation.
Officials said that the sea had not absorbed the floodwaters and that this was the reason why water had stagnated in many parts of Chennai. As the rains subsided last night, the sea’s turbulence also subsided. As a result, the water began to drain. At present, only the main roads in the city have drained. The water has not yet drained on the inner roads. In particular, there is a lot of stagnant rainwater in the Tambaram and Mudichur areas.
Officials said that the work of removing the rainwater is being carried out quickly and that 75% of the rainwater will be removed by tonight. In addition, the power supply has also been affected due to the rains, and the normal lives of the people have been severely affected. In many places, rainwater has stagnated due to the cyclone, and in many places, the water looks like a sea.
The heavy rains have also severely disrupted traffic. As a result, milk distribution has been disrupted in Chennai and its suburbs. People are complaining that Aavin milk is not available in many places. As a result, Chennai residents, especially families with children, have been severely affected.
Aavin milk is not available in the Chennai suburbs of Medavakkam, Vengai Vasal, and Kamarajpuram. In some other places, only private milk is available and its price is high, according to people.
Meanwhile, Minister Mano Thangaraj said that there are only a few problems in the distribution of Aavin milk and that measures are being taken to resolve them quickly. It is said that this is due to the flooding of dairy farms in Chennai, including Sholinganallur. Minister Mano Thangaraj said that all measures are being taken to streamline milk distribution.
