Tamil Nadu Fully Prepared for Northeast Monsoon, Says Revenue Minister

Tamil Nadu’s government is fully prepared to handle the Northeast monsoon, Revenue Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan said on Wednesday, citing a series of review meetings and near-completion of preparedness works across the state. He said about 98% of the required measures have already been completed, underscoring the administration’s confidence as the seasonal rains approach. The remarks come as the state braces for a period that often brings both vital rainfall and serious flood risk, especially in low-lying and urban areas. The government’s emphasis on readiness reflects the recurring pressure on disaster management systems in one of India’s most monsoon-exposed states.
