Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday said the meteorology department about heavy rainfall in the four southern districts was received a ‘bit late’ and the amount of rainfall was several times higher than the MET department forecasted and unprecedented. “Following the unprecedented rains caused by Cyclone Michaung, which affected Chennai and its neighbouring districts earlier this month, the southern districts of Tamil Nadu have now experienced historically high rain over the past few days. This has severely impacted the livelihoods of many and caused extensive damage to infrastructure. The Meteorological Center’s warning came a little late. However, the Tamil Nadu government is carrying out the rescue work quickly,” Stalin said while speaking to reporters in Delhi on Tuesday morning.
