Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Friday instructed authorities to depute more police personnel to handle traffic congestions during heavy rain. He also reviewed preparatory arrangements in 12 districts, as a depression in Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a cyclonic storm around December 3.
Interacting with Collectors of Chengalpattu, Chennai, Cuddalore, Kancheepuram, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Ranipet, Thanjavur, Tiruvallur, Tiruvarur, Vellore, and Villupuram districts, Mr. Stalin instructed them to ensure all precautionary measures were taken in the light of the latest weather predictions.
“The Electricity Board must take steps to prevent accidents during heavy rain and flooding. Teams with the necessary equipment should be kept ready to remove trees that might fall due to the cyclone,” Mr. Stalin said.
