Cyclone Nivar was one of the dreaded unwelcome guests of Tamil Nadu as it made landfall near Puducherry and Chennai on November 26. But the chief minister of the state decided to remain the chief guest of a wedding ceremony in Salem.
According to media reports, 1086 trees were uprooted in Tamil Nadu, with one tree killing a man in Chennai’s Triplicane while he was returning home after enjoying a hot cup of tea at a shop nearby.
58 locations in Chennai alone were witness to heavy
waterlogging on Thursday. Anna Nagar continues to remain inundated. 3 people
lost their lives. Palaniswami feasted at the wedding ceremony of his friend’s
son, content with the fact that he visited the battered district of Cuddalore.
While NDRF teams on ground set out for rescue efforts after cyclonic alarm bells began to ring, it seems as though the CM and his coterie of ministers were drawn to the sound of wedding bells instead.
Nivar means light in the Parsi language and it's only apt that I throw some light on EPS’ priorities.
Goodluck, Chennai, as you limp back to normalcy!
