Chennai, Oct 23:
The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee has launched a “Helping Hand” scheme to assist people affected by heavy rains and flooding in Chennai.
Under the initiative, Congress workers and volunteers will take part in relief activities and extend support to residents in rain-affected areas. The programme aims to provide assistance to people facing difficulties due to waterlogging and other rain-related problems.
The initiative comes amid the northeast monsoon and forecasts of heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu. Political parties and voluntary organisations have been stepping up efforts to support vulnerable communities and help residents cope with the impact of the rains.
The scheme is expected to strengthen the party’s grassroots-level relief efforts and ensure that assistance reaches people in need.
