Watch: Air Force Choppers Drop Food On Roofs For Stranded Chennai Locals

People in Chennai and its suburbs continued to struggle with stagnant water and power outages two days after Cyclone Michuang-induced rain caused severe waterlogging in the Tamil Nadu capital. The Indian Air Force (IAF), engaged in relief operations in the city, used Chetak helicopters to drop relief supplies in different localities of Chennai. Videos doing the rounds on social media show people stranded on roofs while IAF helicopters drop bags of food and medical supplies. While the IAF provided relief materials in Chennai, the Coast Guard dropped supplies in Cholavaram, 24 km north of the capital.
