tamil nadu floods

Tamil Nadu has experienced significant flooding events, particularly during the monsoon season. These floods can be attributed to heavy rainfall, often exacerbated by tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal. Some of the notable floods occurred in:

• 2015: One of the worst flooding incidents, particularly in Chennai, where heavy rains led to extensive damage, loss of life, and displacement of thousands of people.
• 2021: Severe rains resulted in flooding in several districts, leading to infrastructure damage and affecting agriculture.

The floods typically cause disruption to daily life, damage to homes and infrastructure, and pose challenges for rescue and relief operations. The state government and various NGOs often step in for disaster relief and rehabilitation.
