Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena on Friday said schools and colleges in Chennai, Chengalpattu, Tiruvallur, and Kancheepuram districts will reopen on Monday. They have remained closed throughout this week because of the impact of Cyclone Michaung.
Efforts will be made over the next two days to clear any water stagnation in the school and college premises. The campuses will be cleaned, and the functioning of sanitary facilities will be ensured by Monday, he added. When pointed out that many schools and colleges were being used as relief centres, he said there would not be any need for these relief centres by Monday.
Addressing journalists after inspecting some of the areas in Chennai where waterlogging continued for more than three days, he said that around 99.5% of the city was clear from any water stagnation as of Friday. Waterlogging in a few places in north and south Chennai would be cleared in a day.
