“The initial response to my appeal to all of you to rise up to the occasion to reach water to parched Chennai gives me hope and I appeal to you to further expand this public service to the extent you can,” Stalin tweeted in a message, as the ground situation appears to be getting worse in the southern metropolis.
“What a pity, schools and hotels are closing down due to lack of water; equally disheartening is that the IT sector employees are being reportedly asked to work from their homes. Why should Chennai face such a miserable situation?” Stalin further posed in his Twitter message, adding, there was no reply yet from the Municipal Administration minister so far on these issues.
