Actor-politician Kamal Haasan, on Sunday, appealed to his fans to reach out to the needy in Chennai after authorities sounded a preliminary flood alert in the Tamil Nadu capital following heavy rains.
The authorities sounded the alert to people as two city reservoirs—Chembarambakkam and Puzhal, that serve as important sources of drinking water to the Chennai city—would be opened to let out surplus rain water.
