2015 will always be remembered as the year of the Tamil Nadu floods – the time when Chennai showed its true spirit. Here is an inspiring narration from those who helped restore life in the city, and are continuing to do so.
When rains and floods in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu made life come to a standstill for many days in a row, there was an urgent need for quick and simple solutions that could help rescue people. And volunteers did come up with many brilliant jugaads.
Over a hundred people have been rescued from Chennai by teams of Army, Indian Air Force (IAF), and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). In this video, watch how a pregnant woman and her child were airlifted from the terrace of a building.
People in Chennai showed immense courage this Tuesday, when many of them got together to save a drowning man on a flooded road. Watch how they formed a human chain to pull him towards safety.
