A depression in the Bay of Bengal has triggered rains in coastal areas. Last December (2015), non-stop rain for nearly a week brought Chennai to a standstill.

Schools, colleges and factories are shut, exams postponed and power supply suspended in most parts of the city.

The floods resulted from heavy rainfall generated by the annual northeast monsoon in November–December 2015. They affected the Coromandel coast region of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, and the union territory of Puducherry, with Tamil Nadu and Chennai particularly hard-hit.


Cause of Flooding :

The flooding has been attributed to El Nino phenomenon.

State records have shown the total area of 19 major lakes shrank from 1,130 hectares in the 1980s to around 645 hectares in the early 2000s, reducing their storage capacity. 

In addition, unplanned and often illegal urban development has led to many wetlands and natural sinks being built over; along with ageing civic infrastructure and poorly designed drainage systems, has resulted in an increased frequency of severe flooding.

Chennai received 1,049 mm (41.3 in) of rainfall in November (2015), the highest recorded since November 1918 when 1,088 mm (42.8 in) in of rainfall was recorded.

Lakhs of people in the worst-hit areas faced acute short supply of essentials including water, power, milk and food items.

As the extent of the disaster became clear, the Prime Minister flew to Chennai on the afternoon of 3 December (2015) to personally review the relief efforts and conducted an aerial survey of flood-stricken areas in the city. 

The rain is not a problem now; it is the overflowing river and 30 lakes that continue to flood four districts

People said that the authorities didn’t give us adequate information about water being released from a nearby lake. 

Military helicopters dropped food to residents stranded on rooftops in India’s fourth-largest city, previously known as Madras. 

But help was slow to reach many in the city of six million, known for its automobile industry and IT outsourcing. Waters were not receding in some of the hardest-hit areas. Drinking water and fuel were in short supply in many area of Chennai.

People said that cut off without electricity and cellphones dead due to lack of power and living with foul water lapping in their ground floor house for three days.

The biggest worry for volunteer groups was areas where the water level was too high for them to deliver food. Volunteers feel rather helpless. They have lots of food and volunteers were also ready to go, but they don’t have the boats.

At Last :

Mobile, banking and power services were gradually being restored; fuel and food supplies were getting through, the airport had fully reopened and rail services were slowly resuming. 

With the city slowly beginning to recover, health officials remained watchful against disease outbreaks, warning that conditions were right for epidemics of water-borne illnesses to occur.

Note : Many flood victims across Chennai and Tamil Nadu protested the state's ineffectual response and the lack of help from authorities
