Chennai faces persistent challenges on the third day post-Cyclone Michaung, enduring power outages and widespread flooding. The Tamil Nadu government justifies ongoing power suspensions in submerged areas as a "preventive measure," while locals navigate waterlogged streets in regions like Velachery and Tambaram. Evacuation efforts continue, with residents seeking refuge in relief camps. Shop owners recount substantial losses, emphasizing the economic toll. Relief camps, however, provide essential supplies. Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena assures ongoing drainage initiatives, road cleaning, and water supply. Emergency services, including NDRF personnel, remain actively engaged as Chennai contends with the prolonged aftermath of the cyclone.
