Unsong Heroes save lives and win hearts
A Policeman is seen carrying a baby in the flood water. The image is so heart warming to see. It seems that the quote ‘Not all heroes wear capes, some wear uniforms’ is indeed true.
Everyone is a hero ❤ #ChennaiFloods pic.twitter.com/pHdZ9wsr7S

Few citizens are seen helping a man in need. They are seen distributing raincoat and a cup of tea to a man seating in rain. Sometimes, we must share a little warmth with the cold world.

IT Parks Lost Fiber Connectivity
The state-owned ELCOT IT park at Sholinganallur, which houses Wipro, HCL Tech, and Tech Mahindra, was surrounded by water.
Most of the companies lost power and fiber connectivity. However, net connectivity remains a problem and many techies are unable to access their employers’ internal portals remotely from their homes.
