Chennai: With the India Meteorological Department predicting heavy rainfall on October 22 and 23, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has ramped up monsoon preparedness by nearly doubling the number of flood relief centres — from 116 to 215 — across the city, officials said on Sunday.

The move comes as a precautionary measure to prevent a repeat of the devastating floods that struck the city in 2021 and again in December 2023, which claimed more than 40 lives and left thousands displaced.

According to civic officials, all 215 relief centres have been equipped with diesel generator sets to ensure uninterrupted power supply even during severe weather conditions.
