NGOs and residents in Coimbatore have joined forces with the district administration to mobilize relief items for the rain-battered city of Chennai. Two tonnes of relief materials, including water bottles, vegetables, bread, milk powder, and clothes, have already been sent to Chennai. More necessities are being collected and will be sent soon. The city corporation has also dispatched dewatering pumps and sanitary workers to assist with the relief work.
The forecast of reduced rainfall intensity comes as a relief after Cyclone Michaung wreaked havoc across Chennai and adjoining districts, causing flooding and disrupting normal life on Monday. Residents in some parts of Chennai reported no rain since early hours on Tuesday and mentioned that power services had been restored in those areas.
