Chennai is slowly recovering after the recent deluge. The city is limping back to its normalcy. But still things are not the same as it was before. But as the floods were drained, the city turns back to its routine position. The aftermath of floods is so worse than expected.

Apart from this, Chennai Airports were shut down for a week and they chose nearby runways for domestic services. Now the authorities have made a complete check and they have said that the floods have caused a loss of Rs.66.56 Crores in terms of damage to the airport.
