It has been pouring nonstop in coastal districts, including chennai, for the past three days. Many parts of Chennai's residential areas have stagnant water. The rains are expected to last a few more days due to the emergence of a new depression in the Bay of Bengal. Residents in low-lying areas are expected to face greater difficulties if the heavy rains continue, as surplus water from reservoirs is released.


Aside from political differences, the chief minister, the opposition leader, ministers, and ex-legislators are all on the field. The Opposition leader paid a visit to the Chief Minister's Kolathur constituency. He accused the government DMK for failing to take preventive precautions ahead of the monsoon, but refused to say whether he went to Kolathur for political reasons. party leaders all have the feeling that it is inappropriate to discuss party politics while people are suffering from the impact of the heavy rains.


However, the political caricatures of the torrential downpour on social media do not reflect the authorities' viewpoint. It appears that the political parties' IT departments have not yet recovered from the assembly election frenzy. Perhaps something that has only recently begun the campaign for the upcoming municipal elections in the city.


Due to stagnant water, electricity has been cut off in some districts of the capital. Residents in those places do not have access to real-time weather and forecast information provided by television stations. Their primary media include radio, e-news, and social media. During natural disasters such as heavy rainfall, social media may be an efficient communication tool on a local level. During the 2015 chennai flood rescue efforts and the pro-Jallikattu marina protests, we witnessed the power of social media. Even during strong rains, such integration would be beneficial.


It is now time for all those who have the opportunity to volunteer to put their political differences aside. All of the party leaders have appealed to their volunteers in the same way. Emergency medical help and emergency assistance to individuals in need of vital supplies, such as food and medicine, should be coordinated on a part-time basis by teams of volunteers. They must serve as a link between government officials and the general public. During the rainy season, put an end to the hate-filled social media campaigns against political parties and leaders.
