Can Tamil Nadu's new government handle the coming monsoon?

The India Meteorological Department has forecast normal Northeast monsoon rainfall this year, with a strong El Niño effect expected to intensify precipitation towards year-end. The prediction raises questions about whether Tamil Nadu's newly formed TVK government is adequately prepared to manage potential flooding and monsoon-related challenges.

Chennai has faced severe waterlogging and deluge situations in past monsoons, prompting concerns about administrative readiness. The government's preparedness, infrastructure resilience, and disaster management response will be tested as the season approaches.
