Following intense rain in Andhra Pradesh and flooding in Chennai, Cyclone Michaung made landfall yesterday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that the powerful cyclonic storm that developed in the Bay of Bengal subsided into a depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a lot of rain and flooding, Chennai came to a complete stop. The city was one of the worst hit areas by the cyclone, with 17 fatalities connected to rain-related mishaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Greater Chennai Police, up to ten cases of electrocution and drowning have been reported, and medical attention has been given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tamil Nadu administration, according to DMK MP Kanimozhi, is better equipped to handle the crisis than it was in 2015, when unceasing rains triggered flooding in Chennai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, said that the Rs 4,000 crore stormwater drain investment was essential in mitigating the effects of the 47-year high rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to DR J Radhakrishnan, Commissioner of Greater Chennai Corporation, water is being pumped out of numerous flooded low-lying districts and food and other relief supplies are being airdropped into Chennai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In low-lying locations, 300 boats have been sent by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) along with additional personnel. According to Dr. J. Radhakrishnan, about 5,000 government employees from different districts would assist with the rescue effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the India Meteorological Department, the cyclone in Andhra Pradesh subsided into a depression and is currently heading north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across the next six hours, it is predicted to move northward across Andhra Pradesh and deteriorate even more into a clearly defined low-pressure system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chennai’s colleges and schools were told to stay closed today, and the city’s 80% power supply has been restored. Numerous city dwellers struggled with blackouts and lost mobile service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A number of important routes, including Kamarajal Sarai, Cathedral, Pondy Bazaar, Dams, RK Salai, and Anna Salai Road, are now open for traffic. Roads are being cleared of water logging, according to the Greater Chennai police, but traffic is moving slowly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
