Chennai is completely drenched in the persistent rains. This is said to be the heaviest rains in over 100 years. The torrential downpour has now made the Adayar river to be submerged under water. This is the first time, the whole Adayar river has been submerged. 


We hear from sources that this is the firs time the bridge has been submerged. Localities have been asked to stay away but most of them are showing excitement to watch the flooded areas. The normal life is crippled. 


Army has been moved to Adayar as sewage drains are blocked and water logging continues. A resident from that area said, "We are completely doomed. There is chest high water level around us. Groceries are over and we never even have electricity for past three days. Government never provided any relief funds."
