Chennai Floods: Watch Drone Footage Of Chennai Floods | Water Logging At Several Places Due To Rains 

Without proper drainage system govt should not allow construction of so many buildings

This reporter Shilpa Nair is doing a great job ! All kudos to her for braving these floods and reporting.

This used to be a beautiful marsh land when I was in my childhood. So nature reclaiming its place

This is what happens when people build on places that were once rivers and lakes,nature is simply taking them back.

Please pray for Chennai people 🙏

Its not lakes overflowing, its because of human habitats are built inside lakes. The area of the lakes and buffer zones of the lakes and canals are all encroached without scientific or natural water management techniques. Rampant human habitation without considering proper flooding scenario in these areas, occupying and reducing the size of lakes, laying roads in canals are the reasons for this flood. Chennai is established way beyond its threshold limit for naturally sustaining it.

Nice drone view and news coverage

Chennai looks so beautiful please god save your land.

God bless all the people of Chennai.

Seeing this videos I am thankful to God i survived this..because of no electricity and battery drained out I couldn't watch what was going around in chennai...God pls be merciful on us

It is right time to change of capital of Tamil Nadu all IT companies should move to southern cities. it will be better to evocuvate people from chennai

Shree Ram bless them all. Hope the situation gets better soon. We all are with Our brothers and sisters of Chennai. Wish from West Bengal. ❤️🇮🇳. Stay strong Tamil Nadu. 🇮🇳

Chennai deserves a better drainage system

Cheri = marsh lands. Those are roads and buildings inside a lake. Unprecedented development of building inside natural lake/water areas. Nature just doing its work. This is going to happen for centuries to come during wet years unless TN builds coastal infrastructure like Holland - which will never happen under corrupt TN governments.

😱🤭Why do people buy homes in this area? 🤔 Enticed by the real estate businessmen ? 😵

Velacheri, pallikaranai in chennai ,always affected when ever, there is small rain

🙏Pray for chennai

Encroachment is on next level

Dmk is more concerned on getting all movies to red giants production and distribution... Thats their top priority

Useless government 🤦🏻‍♂️

May Allah bless the brothers of Chennai...May he provide them warmth, clothes and food timely...Here, in Bangladesh, rainfall with wind at morning!No casualty! So cold today! ❤❤❤❤❤

Chennai is the new Venice. Every one should buy a raft. Amazon is selling them for 2k.

Pray for chennai and help to the peoples in flood affected area... ..(kerala)

Literally speaking it is not residential area it is lake once upon a time

Annamalai Anna please take charge as CM and save us

Why build houses in marshy lamds? The water finds its path back

This always happens in Chennai but no one prepares for it

This is what happens when one specific species thinks that it can breed without limits and destroy everything on this planet ! Nature will reclaim it's lost territories whether you like it or not ! So all you humans it's time to open your eyes and look into the future of this beautiful planet!

Don’t worry they will get rice bags

Never ending story 😊

Looks like Cauvery river

May Mahadev help them Om Shanti.....

It was terrible and scary...😢..i couldn't sleep the entire night,heavy wind blowing.

When it rains, reporters head to velaicheri - marsh lands just a few decades ago.

Ask Stalin about 4000cr drainage completed his minister ma subramanian said 20 or 30 cm rain come no water will stay what about that?

It's been 3 days now. I live in 35th Street Balaji Nagar - Puzuthivakkam. The waterlog is still there and no actions were taken. Don't know whom to blame. No water to drink. Funny part was, there are 1000+ people struggling. For eye wash they came in chopper and gave some packages for 10-20 people and everyone were shouting for help. Atleast during this calamities pls serve the public. 5-10 boats in one area what's the point.

This is what happens when you Vote for Leader who just do Publicity.

Car manufacturers should innocent vatively lauch water n road dual drive cars 😅

Minister coming is for photo op. They have learned it from their leader.

Chennai is such a funny place Lol 😂🤣🤣

Make houses on low pressure area - check Make houses on/near Lake area - check No water problem after rain - check

Now, the flood of 2023 has come.. 😢 Even if the government does some renovations in 8 years(after 2015), it is not enough.. We can recover from these disasters only if we do things like draining the lakes, doing the rainwater drainage works in all the low-lying areas and avoiding people encroachment in the low-lying areas from now on.

No relief work yet visible or started for water receding in Velechery and many areas including baby nagar is indundated with water with no power. No response so far for representation made in Twitter. face book. Really Govt needs to initiate action quickly.

பணம் சம்பாதிக்க பாவத்தை கம்மியா பண்ணுங்க

Drone operator....👍👏👌

im just thankful to god for not facing any troubles.

Government officials who signed on buildings over lakes should be accountable and their accounts seized and pensions cancelled

Chennai will become a hell if the drainage system is not done properly. All this is happening because of corrupted selfish people who constructed houses in lakes and waterways.

Very clear reporting

Good 👍👍👍👍 reporting

Why was ₹4000 crore spent if chennites r to be on the same suffering position during rains.??

Our drainage and irrigation engineers are useless...wonder what they studied during their Uni days😢

മനുഷ്യരെ എല്ലാവരും രക്ഷിക്കും വളർത്തുമൃഗങ്ങളെയും തെരുവ് മൃഗങ്ങളെയും ആര് രക്ഷിക്കും 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Great news coverage by Lady Journalists of India Today grp braving the rain and producing live news...Velachery has been a problem area for long and gets affected invariably due to heavy rain as its close by water bodies...Lot of real estate dev has happened on water bodies by converting them into residential for businessman and politicians greed and ppl who can't afford to buy in good areas unfortunately buy here and have to undergo this hassle every yr during NE monsoon season in Chennai. The most affected ppl are those on GF due to waterlogging, sewage blockage, etc and the top floor ppl manage to escape...

Basturd chennai municipality..always doing encroachment in flood prone areas

Catchment areas must be kept in mind and a huge storm water drain has to be built that can be permeable to deep underground aquifers. In march to May, when water scarcity occurs water that scares the city will come to rescue. Such urban planning must be done.

Velechery is worst affect not because there are lake nearby. Velechery itself is a lake..

Thats why foreign companies should invest in indias south west coast which is best in india.

United states of South India! now ask the neighbouring South indian states to help in rescue operations - don't seeks help from Army, NDRF teams!

India should expand there all cities to other districts too same thing bangalore and chennai or Hyderabad

The rich and unscruplous builders nexus

Super smart people select their leaders - DMK or ADMK .... You sow shall you reap

That place was a lake. Water comes to the lake. Now they want to pump the water out!!!

Venice cherry

Do visit mel ayanaambakkam chennai

Is chennai good today?

Need to save lives. With so much progress, we cannot have any more deaths

Because everyone was awake, there was no loss of life.. 2015 when the flood came when it was in full swing, there was a lot of loss of life. .The rain is running like a ghost.. why does it stop...4000 crores infra should drain the water.. it is not cloud blast.. water not drained when raining, why it is stuck? no use of 4000 crores drain project .

Are the cricketers following the news? MS Dhoni is the adopted son of Chennai. But what's he doing for his die- hard fans in Chennai? Is this called sportsmanship? What are the other celebrity cricketers doing? This makes me think that because this flood calamity has happened in Chennai , no one cares. If it is somewhere in the North, definitely they would've done something. What to do? North_ South devide runs in their blood. No amount of cricket game would change it. Atleast from now on, our cricket brethren of Chennai should stop idolizing the millionaire cricketers.

Inevitable. Even countries like Singapore with excellent town planning is experiencing flooding. Only issue is flood rescinding at slower rate due to poor drainage, canal management. If India aspires to be a 1st world nation, this needs to be addressed.

Pray for Chennai 🇧🇩

look at the scorching heat😢

In perumbakkam , Kilpauk , Otteri every where still water is there .. till all news Chanel’s covers Vellachery?

This is not the first time that floods have happened in Chennai and the government still doesn't care about people's safety. The government and the people will also forget this incident when the weather dries up😅

What is the name of the cyclone that generated from bay of Bengal

May Almighty Allah Protect Chennai. Please Stay Safe.

May Lord Jesus bless the people Of Cycling affect person

Wrong news No Lakes are over flowing, building approved sold and built on water bodies, what once was the biggest waterbody in chennai. VELACHERRYY

No human being has the power to create such an environment. This can be done only by the one who has created this world and if any human being had that power then he would have stopped it.

Interesting you say water got into residential areas. Didn’t resident build their houses where water was supposed to be don’t blame the water or rain.

Under high road Flud high bridge is problem

We are buying water @Kohima Nagaland.

These incidents will occur again and again until the lakes encroached areas are restored to its original size. Government needs to take action. They just think it happens once in a year and move on without trying to fix it.

Boat transport in rainy seasons Flood lake home systems

Oh my God

*BEGINING OF THE END. END IS NOT FAR AWAY*

Worst rainfall in 80 years...Chennai recorded more than 80 cm of rainfall in less than 2 days

Hii

Just how many engineers are there in Chennai? Can someone fix this once and for all.

next hyd also same

Replace the state government who has not done anything to improve this flood problems. This has been happening for so many years.

City reputation and investments damaged ... Hyd or Bangalore is a better place

Veesa interviews when will start? Please say anyone

🔥🔥🦁👑

Over the past 7 and a half decades only the technologies have improved in reporting the people's misery not the living standard of the people. From this only we can understand where the corrupt state has been putting it's effort, not in improving the living standards of people but to keep them as poor slaves without any power under its feet.

Its so funny. From where to where the water will be drained out

No sign of any positive work of any govt deprtment, in the present ruling disoention. The public made a bad choice, we should have a fresh new public friendly honest to some extant, political party with honest retired bureaucratez judiciary and youth for such problems to be solved.. And for a better future, will we ever get such a polutical dispensation or will this just be a wishfull dream.

This area normal days 1plot is 5 crores

All you need to live a happy life. a. A home without loan somewhere in a green lush land. b. Job, food, vehicle to travel, simple clothing and some good music and entertainment c. Marry the one you love and pray God everyday. because the one you love and loves you will stay with you when everything is Gone( job, money paper, banks buildings, home, vehicle)when everyone are on the road by an earthquake or flood climate disaster. Make sure you have a spiritual account. planet earth is temporary. Life is simple, DO NOT complicate. Nature's revenge:: peoples GREED- everyone's wants to become the RICHEST man/women on the planet. when MONEY is your everything, You will end up with money and nothing else at the end. imagine when the drinking water is no more, there will be no water, no food, people will have to eat money. WELL that's what they always wanted.
