Amidst the overnight rain that flipped the normalcy in Chennai, the City Armed Reserve personnel rescued a nine-month pregnant woman stranded inside a house due to heavy water-logging in the Velachery area of Chennai.
28-year-old Jayanthi, an advocate by profession, has been living on the first floor of an apartment in the AGS Colony of the Chokkalingam Nagar area in Velachery. Owing to heavy downpours, water has been logged for more than three feet inside and around the houses in the area.
However, on November 7, Jayanthi was safely rescued by the City Armed Reserve personnel and has been handed over to her relatives. More than 50 people who were unable to leave their homes in and around the area were rescued as well and sent to relief centres.
