It seems 2015 is back in Chennai that claimed 347 lives across the state. From last few days, torrential rains continued to lash Chennai and brought the city to a standstill on Friday.
On Thursday, several coastal pockets of Chennai witnessed severe water-logging after rains lashed the city for a non-stop five hours following a low pressure on the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka. As a result of the rain in the state, schools in Nagapattinam, Kanchipuram, Thiruvallur and Chennai remained closed on Friday.
