Furthermore, efforts are focused on fixing problems with mobile network connectivity to guarantee that channels of communication are fully functional. The government’s preemptive actions are intended to lessen interruptions and difficulties experienced by inhabitants in places hit by rain, including certain portions of Chennai.
In order to fasten the restoration process and alleviate the impact on the impacted parties, more resources are being deployed. The Chennai Municipal Corporation and the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board (TNSCB) are two of the departments that must coordinate as part of the comprehensive approach.
