This special report from India Today covers the impact of heavy northeast monsoon rains across Tamil Nadu, leading to severe waterlogging in Chennai. Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has been inspecting infrastructure works, but our ground reports reveal a grim reality of official unpreparedness. A reporter on the scene states, 'this spot is not even 300 meters away from the chief minister's residence'. The bulletin highlights the stark contrast between government claims of readiness and the hazardous conditions on the ground, with reality checks in Medavakkam and Pallikaranai showing roads riddled with potholes, described by residents as 'death traps' that have existed for years. The Indian Meteorological Department has issued further warnings for heavy rainfall in the state.
