AIR correspondent reports, there seems to be no stopping of rains with the coastal districts continuing to reel under the impact of the downpour. Chennai is virtually under a sheet of water with the city recording 10 cms in the last two days. Tanks and rivers in nearby Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur districts are brimming with water. Flood alerts have been sounded in these districts and people living along the banks have been asked to move to safer places. There is a real cause for concern in the delta districts as standing crops continue to be submerged in water. The damages are heavy in the affected areas and the government is likely to announce a major package tomorrow after the special cabinet meeting.
