Rainfall in Chennai broke a 100-year-old record on Monday when it poured continuously and caused the entire city to flood. Offices and shops shut, lives were halted, but Chennai people proved that the floods cannot stop the humanity and helping nature of Chennaites.
The flood brought out the best of humanity in Chennai and here are some of the instances of people helping people:
