Many areas in Chennai were flooded, trains and flights were delayed and schools and colleges were closed on Friday as heavy rain lashed the city for the fifth straight day, bringing it to a virtual standstill.
Schools and colleges are shut in the city following the Met department's forecast. This is the third time that a holiday has been declared for educational institutions in the city since November 9, when a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal crossed near the Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coast, resulting in heavy rain and consequent flood in many parts of the state. Cuddalore district, 180 kms from Chennai, was the worst hit.
Residents in Big Street has been living with flood for many days. Students in higher secondary school were left because of heavy rain. Rain also caused serious traffic jam on many streets of the city.
According to Chennai Weather Forecast, rain will last for a week until 19 November.
