Tamil Nadu Braces for Heavy Rains Amid Weather Warnings
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings of heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu, prompting authorities to gear up for potential disruptions.
The forecast predicts significant downpours in multiple districts, including Chennai, where preparations are underway to tackle waterlogging and ensure public safety.
Weather Advisory and Preparedness
According to the IMD, the rains are attributed to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. Officials have urged residents to remain cautious, particularly in low-lying areas. Schools in several districts, including Chennai, Kancheepuram, and Chengalpattu, have declared a holiday as a precautionary measure.
Relief Measures in Place
The state government has activated disaster management teams and helplines to address emergencies. Municipal workers are on high alert to clear drains and ensure the smooth flow of rainwater. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the sea due to rough conditions.
Public Advised to Stay Vigilant
The IMD has advised people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rains. With warnings of localized flooding, authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have assured prompt assistance in affected areas.
As Tamil Nadu braces for the adverse weather, continuous updates from officials will guide residents in navigating the situation safely.
