Pm Modi Chennai Floods

In the wake of unprecedented floods ravaging southern districts of Tamil Nadu, the Army and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have joined hands to undertake rescue operations.

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.

After a doctored picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aerial survey of Tamil Nadu floods was released by the Press Information Bureau, the government has come out with Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for coverage of VVIP events.

Facing flak for posting a morphed photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi surveying Tamil Nadu floods from a helicopter, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) today expressed regret saying the incident happened due to an "error of judgment".
