Chennai Floods 2015

The deep depression over the Bay of Bengal has brought heavy and continuous rains which devastated the State of Tamil Nadu recently. The state is battling one of the worst floods in history. Several districts were submerged leaving a trail of death and destruction. The toll in the devastating floods has reached over 190 dead. More than 2,500 villagers are badly affected and 60 % of the capital city of Chennai is underwater. Thousands of families are still stranded and awaiting help across the state.
