Incessant Rainfall Halts Traffic, 3 Ambulances Stuck
On December 30, 2021, Chennai received incessant rainfall which led to several parts of the city being waterlogged. As a natural consequence of such rainfall, the city’s life was halted and one of the direct implications of the same, was seen on the roads. Due to the rainfall, the city’s traffic was badly affected with miles-sprawling jams being reported from multiple regions.
At the Anna Salai road, a massive gridlock had already formed. In the long crawling jam stood three ambulances that were on their way to the Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital. All three ambulances were ferrying patients in serious conditions. However, due to the traffic jam, they were not seeing the a good end to their journey.
