Chennai is still not well equipped to overcome heavy rains: Vishal

After the horrible incident of the electrocution of two 8-year-olds in Kodungaiyur due to heavy rains in the city, Vishal has released a statement saying it’s a crime and not a mistake.

His statement

It’s pathetic to see recurring deaths due to the same scenario every other time when we have a natural calamity be it Heavy Rains, Cyclone, Flood etc…We see Farmers die every year & we see Innocent people being electrocuted during rains.

How long are we going to face the same situation? Aren’t we suppose to rectify our mistakes & see to that it doesn’t happen again? What is that we are trying to convey? Is our City ill-equipped and we will have to face all these haphazard* and do we have to experience such Deaths @ such times?

It’s really sad & totally uncalled for….This has happened several times in the past… Since we have not addressed these issues on a war footing I think we should rather confirm that Chennai is still not well equipped in terms of overcoming heavy rains, floods, cyclones etc…

How many more people do we have to sacrifice to make people mend their mistakes? This is a CRIME, not a Mistake but a CRIME !!
