Chennai District Collector Dr J Vijaya Rani declared holiday for schools and colleges in Chennai on Monday after incessant rains and water-logging in several parts of the district.

In Theyagaraya. Nagar, heavy rains have led to water logging and water gushed into several residences, making it impossible to stay on the lower floor and most have shifted to the upper floors. However several houses with only single floor are not in livable conditions and many have shifted to hotels and some to the residences of close relatives.

After many roads and subways were closed, Chennai city is grappling with traffic woes and vehicles have to take diversions.

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin visited the rain-affected areas of Ganapathy Nagar in Thirumullaivoyal and distributed relief materials to people. He also visited several other rain-affected areas in the city.
