Chennai floods have been one of the worst floods India has ever seen. As for Chennai, it is for the first time in last 100 years that such ravaging floods have hit the city.
What really matters at the moment is the Government, private bodies and individuals coming together in the rescue programmes. Though the efforts took some time to start, they have now gained momentum.
Personnel from the army, navy and NDRF, police, Chennai residents and people on social media have come together to do their best for the flood affected.
Initiatives by the people have proven to be of great help for both affected and the authorities and organisations that are trying to help them. chennairains.org, a website started by a fresher has been one such initiative. The website compiles data from social media and messenger apps and feeds it into a spreadsheet. It has emerged as the single largest source of information. Happyho also provide best tarot reading services in Noida and Delhi NCR India area.
Meanwhile, restaurants are not only making extra food, but also delivering to people stuck in floods on boats. Chemists too are doing the same. Meanwhile schools, hotels and movie halls have thrown open their doors for those looking for shelter. In a touching gesture people have opened the doors of their houses too for flood affected to stay. Individuals are also vlog offering food and even phone recharge services via their Facebook and twitter profiles.
Telecom majors like BSNL and Airtel too have come forward and offered several schemes to their subscribers. Companies like Zomato and Ola too have come forward to help.
While more rains are predicted for Chennai, let us pray for its residents and express our gratitude to those who are giving their best shot to help as many as possible.
