The gesture was welcomed by many. Social media users lauded the brothers for coming forward to help those impacted.

For the unversed, torrential rain triggered by the cyclone has wreaked havoc upon Tamil Nadu, with Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Nagapattinam, Cuddalore, and Thiruvallur districts bearing the brunt of the downpour. Most parts of Chennai are currently submerged in water, with heavy inundation in low-lying areas, even as civic agency personnel were involved in clearing the stagnant water. In some areas, cars were seen floating on waterlogged roads.

A video also went viral on social media showing a crocodile roaming on a road in the city during the night. The reptile was reportedly found in the Perungalathur area of Chennai. In the video, the reptile can be seen crawling on the side of the road before disappearing into the bushes.
