Kamal Haasan released an important statement yesterday night (1st November), with his tweet, asking people to be aware and be prepared for anything that comes up due to the rains.
 

He tweeted, "This is a precautionary statement to the Government and the public. News that is coming up is worrying me."

The statement reads, "Northwest and Southwest parts of Chennai is getting ready to be flooded with rainwater. It won't take much time for the lakes in Selaiyur, Chitlapakkam, Guduvancheri, Mudichur, to overflow. Officers in the water department, or the people, do not know about the capacity of these lakes. To be more precise, it has been made sure that people don't get to know about the capacity.

That is the sad fact and truth. The water which flows into a lake from Nanmangalam was blocked due to the construction of a building. Though the Court ordered to demolish the building in 2015, it has still not been done. People around that area, please be aware of the problems that might arise, and media people should help them. Let us stop before it comes."
