In Bengaluru, days of heavy rain have thrown the city into chaos. Waterlogged roads caused massive traffic jams, leaving commuters stuck for hours on major routes like Mysuru Road and NICE Road. Tamil Nadu, at the same time, has borne the brunt of the cyclone significantly. Over 69 lakh families and 15 million people are reported to have been affected.
Torrential rains flooded the South Pennai river, submerged over 2.21 lakh hectares of farmland, and left countless homes damaged. Tragically, several lives are reported to have been lost in the affected regions. The Tamil Nadu government has announced relief measures, ranging from crop compensation to financial aid for affected families, while also seeking Rs 2,000 crore in immediate assistance from the Centre. The central government, on its part, has assured full support to the crisis-stricken state. It goes without saying that coordination is the best recipe for fighting against any crisis.
