News India Live, Digital Desk: The discussion about ‘Fangal’ storm had not even stopped when the Bay of Bengal has created another new problem. Its name is Cyclone Ditwah. If you live in Chennai or its surrounding districts, then this morning you must have felt that the color of the sky has changed and there is a different strength in the winds. In view of the continuous rains and the warning of the Meteorological Department (IMD), the administration has taken a big decision with immediate effect. Let us understand in simple language how is the atmosphere of the city today and what things should you take care of. Where will you be on holiday today? (School Holiday Update) This news is happy for children, but a matter of concern for parents. In view of the threat of heavy rains, all schools and colleges in Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram and Tiruvallur districts have been ordered to remain closed today (Tuesday, December 2). The administration does not want to take any risk. In view of the waterlogging that occurred during the last rains, this time a holiday has already been declared so that children and college going students remain safe. Many IT companies and private offices have also considered giving work from home to their employees, so that the situation of traffic jam can be avoided. What is the storm ‘Ditwah’ after all? According to meteorologists, the ‘Deep Depression’ formed over the Bay of Bengal is now turning into a cyclonic storm, i.e. Cyclone Ditwah. This system is slowly moving towards the coast of Tamil Nadu. This is the reason why it has been raining intermittently since last night, and in some areas continuously. Apart from Chennai, there is a possibility of high waves in the sea in the coastal areas of Karaikal and Puducherry. Fishermen have been clearly told not to go into the sea with their boats, because “if there is life, there is world.” Important advice for common peopleTraffic and waterlogging: If you have to go out of office or for some important work, then definitely check the traffic situation on Google Maps or News. There are reports of water logging in low-lying areas of Chennai. Electricity and Network: Due to strong winds, power cuts occur at times. Keep your mobile, laptop and emergency lights charged. Avoid rumours: Many old videos also start going viral on social media. Trust only the information from the official meteorological department or reliable news channels. The next 24 hours are considered very important. The administration is on full alert mode, pumps and relief teams are ready. So for now, enjoy your hot tea and stay safe at home, because ‘Ditwah’ is taking its toll outside.
