[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At least six people have died due to heavy showers and subsequent flooding in Chennai and other coastal districts of Tamil Nadu in the last couple of days.

The present condition of Chennai and adjoining areas, locals said, was a reminder to the 2015 floods in the state that killed more than 150 people. TV footage from many areas in Tamil Nadu, especially suburbs, showed water logged roads and partially submerged houses and vehicles.

Schools in most of the coastal Tamil Nadu districts including Chennai were shut for the second day on Wednesday as meteorogical office predicted more rain in the region.

“In the last 24 hours, fairly widespread rainfall has been recorded over Tamil Nadu. In the next 24 hours rainfall is expected over coastal region and southern part of the state,” Met Director, S Balachandran told PTI.

Meanwhile, a minister has claimed that his state is better at managing rain as compared to the United States and the United Kingdom.

“It rained in Bengaluru recently, earlier it rained in the UK and US and we were told it was flooded everywhere. It shows our action is better than those of developed countries,” Tamil Nadu’s Municipal Administration Minister SP Velumani said on Tuesday.

Of the six deaths, two girls, aged 8 and 9 years, died of electrocution after stepping on a wire that had snapped and fallen into stagnant water in Chennai’s Kodungaiyur on Wednesday.

The rainfall has, however, addressed Chennai’s water shortage concern to a large extent. The city had received deficit rain last year and was staring at a similar scenario this year with a less than normal southwest monsoon. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Auto man patna

Auto rides, also known as tuk-tuks or three-wheelers, are a popular mode of transportation in India. These compact, motorized vehicles offer a fun and unique way to explore cities and towns while experiencing the local culture, but can you ever Imagine yourself lying on the roof of the auto-rickshaw and enjoying its ride?

A video is now viral on the internet, where a man can be seen taking up a stunt that has shocked the internet.

In the viral video, a man from Chikohra, Patna can be seen, in an attempt to make his auto ride more thrilling and interesting, laid on the rooftop of a auto-rickshaw.

This shocking video has been a talking point on the internet. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that we are witnessing such incident, a few months back, on the festival of Holi, a video from Lucknow was spread across the internet, where a drunk man was seen dancing on the rooftop of a auto-rickshaw. 

At the current time, when cases of road accidents leading to death in India recorded very high, most of us forget to care about the rules and regulations that we must follow when we are on the roads. The prime example of the same is that most of the riders/drivers don’t care to wear helmets or use seat belts while driving.  While, many break the rules having any fear of getting caught or punished.

According to the report by the National Crime Bureau ( NCRB ), India witnessed around 1.5 lakh road fatalities in 2018 alone which increased to 4,37,396 in 2019, a surge of around 3 lakh deaths due to accidents in a year. However the number decreased substantially in pandemic hit 2020.

The viral video is one such example and many such incidents occurred in the past are the examples of the ignorance and negligence of people towards road safety and their self safety.
