Chennai, the capital of the state, has seen its everyday life severely interrupted by the torrential downpour that has caused waterlogging and gridlock. Tamil Nadu's chief minister, MK Stalin, convened a review conference with other important figures to assess the situation and make sure that necessary measures are followed. Chief Secretary N. Muruganandam met with relevant officials to help with the reaction to the current weather difficulties.
