What Happened In Chennai

Dear Reader

It is important for you to get a sense of how the government seems to have failed the people of Chennai in the aftermath of the recent flooding.

The leaders are all there but there seems to be no coordinated leadership, briefing to media and so much as basic advanced planning. What makes this whole fiasco worse is that the DMK led state government has been crowing about how it has spent Rs 4,000 crores to re-do Chennai's stormwater drains. 

Balakumar is my favourite Swarajya contributor from South India - he can effortlessly convey the ground reality in simple essays. Read this story on the recent Chennai floods and the government bungling.
