CHENNAI: After a week of holidays owing to rains and water stagnation, schools and colleges in Chennai, Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu and Kanchipuram have started to function from Monday (Dec 11)

With heavy rains lashed out due to cyclonic storm Michaung, there has been severe waterlogging and flooding in various places which disrupts the normal life.
