The Andhra Pradesh Government on Thursday assured every possible help to Tamil Nadu state which was badly hit by unprecedented rains. Coastal districts of state , especially Chennai suffered heavy losses due to flood and incessant rains in the past two weeks. Entire Chennai city got drowned in the deluge of water.
On the advice of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, State Chief Secretary IYR Krishna Rao rang up his Tamil Nadu counterpart and offered necessary assistance in the flood affected regions.
The Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary is said to have requested the Andhra Pradesh Government to explore the possibility of reducing the outflows from Pichatur Dam and other dams in Chittoor District. Excess outflows from these dams are likely to flood Thiruvallur District in Tamil Nadu. TN chief secretary informed Andhra Pradesh that they assess the situation and get back with specific request later..
Meanwhile, due to heavy rains and submergence of Railway Bridges in Chennai–Gudur Section, Railways cancelled and short terminated several trains on Thursday to ensure safety of trains and passengers.
