The current year Agni Nakshatra in Tamil Nadu started on 4th. It lasts until the end of this month. Due to this, it is said that the effect of heat will be more. But a closer look at the field situation reveals that Agni is suffering most before the Nakshatra. Currently, summer rains are falling in various parts of the state. In the plain areas of the interior districts of Tamil Nadu, the temperature is close to the leaf and higher than normal in some places.
Weather forecast
For the next 7 days, there will be an area of variable wind direction in the upper atmosphere over South India. An atmospheric downward circulation prevails over the Kumarik Sea regions. So expect light to moderate rain at many places in Tamil Nadu till May 19. Usually, summer brings two kinds of problems.
Summer problems
One is the scarcity of drinking water. Two, power shortage. If we somehow get past the month of May, the monsoon will start in Kerala in June. This will have an impact on Tamil Nadu as well. In the next few weeks, Southwest Monsoon will start quenching the thirst. Until then it is necessary to hold on. Appropriate steps are being taken by the Government of Tamil Nadu in this regard.
Chief Secretary Advice
In that regard, Chief Secretary Sivdas Meena held a consultation with the departmental secretaries about the uninterrupted supply of drinking water and electricity to the public at the Chennai Chief Secretariat. Speaking at that time, despite the rains in some parts of the state, the effect of summer heat is causing a lot of damage. Therefore, drinking water and heat prevention measures required for each district should be carried out properly.
Participation of departmental officers
Uninterrupted power supply should be available. Sivdas Meena suggested that the number of new bore wells should be investigated. Officials of Rural Development, Panchayat Department, Municipal Administration Department, Secretaries of Water Supply, Revenue, Disaster Management Departments, Chairman of Power Board and others participated in this consultation meeting.
