Cyclone In Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu Flood Relief: The Tamil Nadu government has moved the Supreme Court seeking an ex-parte order to the centre to release Rs 2,000 crore as part of an interim relief package for flood-ravaged districts.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday ordered cash assistance ranging between Rs 7,500 and Rs 12,500 to 9,001 families affected by the oil spill in north Chennai areas.

In the matter of oil spillage, the Coast Guard on Sunday said the oil spill is trapped inside the Ennore creek area in Chennai and there is 'nil' egress.

Heavy rains under the influence of a cyclonic circulation lashed southern Tamil Nadu on Sunday, inundating several areas in districts including Kanyakumari.

Days after an oil spill in northern pockets of Chennai - a city limping back to normalcy after flooding due to Cyclone Michaung - the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and the Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited have begun a blame game.

In a swift response to the aftermath of Cyclone Michaung, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has allocated a sum of one crore and 90 lakh rupees for the cleaning work of schools in the cyclone-ravaged districts.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has greenlighted the first urban flood mitigation project in Chennai, allocating Rs 561.29 crore for "Integrated Urban Flood Management" activities in the Chennai Basin project, Home Minister Amit Shah announced today.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed the Ministry of Home Affairs to release in advance the second instalment of the Centre's contribution to the SDRF of Rs 493.60 to Andhra Pradesh and Rs 450 crore to Tamil Nadu.

An actor has alleged that she was asked to make way for Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's convoy when she was rescuing her family that was stranded in Chennai floods.

People in Chennai and its suburbs continued to struggle with stagnant water and power outages two days after Cyclone Michuang-induced rain caused severe waterlogging in the Tamil Nadu capital.

The state government has postponed the exams in regions including Chennai, Chengalpattu, Thiruvallur and Kanchipuram.

Cyclone Michaung made landfall yesterday following heavy rain in Andhra Pradesh and flooding in Chennai. The severe cyclonic storm that originated in the Bay of Bengal weakened into a depression, the India Meteorological Department said.

A dozen people lost their lives in various rain-related incidents in and around the city while personnel on fishing boats and farm tractors were engaged in rescuing stranded people on Tuesday.

As Cyclone Michaung continues to wreak havoc in Tamil Nadu and Chennai city faces massive waterlogging, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said that he was depressed by it and urged Congress leaders and workers to come forward to help.

North coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are expected to experience light to moderate rainfall in most places and isolated heavy rainfall on Tuesday morning, decreasing thereafter, according to the latest IMD bulletin.
