NEW DELHI: Senior India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who disclosed that his own neighborhood was experiencing a power outage that lasted more than 30 hours, brought attention to the difficult circumstances Chennai residents are enduring as a result of Cyclone Michaung.
Devastating effects have been caused by Cyclone Michaung in Tamil Nadu and nearby states. Tuesday's rainy spell brought some relief to Chennai, the state capital of Tamil Nadu, but the city also had to deal with widespread water logging, blackouts, and disruptions in mobile networks.
"No power in my locality for more than 30 hours too. Guess that's the case in many places. Not Sure what options we have #ChennaiFloods," Ashwin posted on 'X'.
Chennai-based Ashwin has been sharing and uploading multiple videos of the flooded city on 'X'.
"Hang tight for another day everyone Even if the rain stops, recovery is going to take a while. #ChennaiRains2023 #Michaung," the spinner had posted on Monday, while sharing a video of a damaged road.
In Tamil Nadu, at least 16 people have died in a variety of rain-related situations. Workers on farm tractors and fishing boats have been helping to free people who have become stranded in the city.
