Cyclone Fengal Live: Airline should have at least responded to passengers, says passenger
Shiva, a passenger travelling to Abu Dhabi via Air Arabia flight, said, "We have been waiting here since 8 PM last night. I am from Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu. The airline we booked with is not responding to us, and we haven't even received a water bottle or food from them.
"I request the airline to respond and ensure the comfort of passengers. They should have arranged a place for us to wait, but in this weather, we are waiting in an open area. Honestly, I have suffered a lot this time. I have been travelling and working abroad for the past 25 years, but I have never faced such treatment from any airline. Yes, it's a natural calamity, but the airline should have at least responded to the passengers. They should either arrange an alternate flight or refund the amount to us as soon as possible," he added.

Cyclone Fengal Live: Cyclone Fengal crosses north Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts, expected to weaken into deep depression
Cyclonic Storm Fengal crossed the North Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts during the early hours of Sunday morning and is likely to continue moving west-southwestward, weakening into a deep depression within the next few hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
According to the IMD, the cyclone crossed the coast near Puducherry between 10:30 pm and 11:30 pm IST, with wind speeds of 70-80 kmph gusting up to 90 kmph.
"The Cyclonic Storm FENGAL crossed North Tamil Nadu & Puducherry coasts near latitude 12.05°N and longitude 79.9°E, close to Puducherry, between 2230 hrs IST and 2330 hrs IST yesterday, the 30th November as a cyclonic storm with wind speed of 70-80 kmph gusting to 90 kmph. It lay centred at 2330 hours IST yesterday, the 30th of November over north coastal Tamilnadu & Puducherry near latitude 12.0°N and longitude 79.8°E, close to Puducherry. It will continue to move west-southwestwards slowly and weaken gradually into a deep depression during the next 3 hours," IMD wrote on X.
The official statement added that residents in the affected areas have been advised to remain indoors and follow all instructions from local authorities to ensure their safety.
Meanwhile, people living in nearby areas have been shifted to relief camps near Kalpakkam in Chengalpattu district, in the wake of Cyclone Fengal.
As Cyclone Fengal began making landfall, Puducherry and several parts of Tamil Nadu experienced heavy rain and gusty winds, disrupting road and air services and affecting normal life.
"The Cyclonic Storm 'FENGAL' [pronounced as FEINJAL] over the southwest Bay of Bengal moved west-southwestwards at a speed of 7 kmph over the past six hours and was centred at 1730 IST today, November 30, 2024, over the southwest Bay of Bengal, off the north Tamil Nadu coast near latitude 12.2°N and longitude 80.3°E. It was located approximately 40 km from the coast, 50 km south-southeast of Mahabalipuram, 60 km east-northeast of Puducherry, and 90 km south of Chennai," the IMD stated in a post on X earlier.
"Latest observations indicate that the forward sector of the cyclone's spiral bands has entered land. The storm is expected to move west-southwestwards, crossing the north Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coasts between Karaikal and Mahabalipuram, close to Puducherry, as a cyclonic storm with wind speeds of 70-80 kmph, gusting to 90 kmph, within the next 3 to 4 hours," the IMD added in an updated post at 7:30 pm.
Authorities in Puducherry and Tamil Nadu reviewed the situation and implemented precautionary measures.
Puducherry District Collector A Kulothungan stated that the district administration had taken comprehensive steps to prepare for Cyclone Fengal.

Cyclone Fengal Live: Reservoirs at 53% capacity
Chennai's surface reservoirs are now more than half-full, at 53%, after receiving rain in their catchment areas due to Cyclone Fengal. The reservoirs have around 7tmcft of water now compared to their 13.2tmcft capacity.
Biomining machines at the Perungudi dumpyard have been lying idle for the past five months, leaving more than 100 acres of the dumpsite untouched. Despite being hired more than four years ago, the contractor has made little progress in biomining the waste.
As a result, the dumpyard continues to grow, with 2,500 tonnes of fresh waste being added daily. In the last six months alone, at least 2.5 acres of land have been taken up by the new waste. The expansion of the dumpsite is also encroaching on the surrounding marshland.
The contractor, WeStart Communication and Premier Precision Surface, was tasked with clearing half of the 225-acre legacy landfill under a 150-crore project. However, it has only completed 20% of the work, biomining a mere fraction of the 15 lakh cubic metres of waste allotted .
GCC Commissioner J Kumaragurubaran said the contractor's tenders were cancelled due to shoddy work and also because the firm tried to halt fresh tenders for the same work. "The contractor got a stay against termination or fresh tenders. Madras high court has appointed former Justice N Kirubakaran as arbitrator in Oct to adjudicate the issue," he said.
He said they would push the contractor to work and try to bring in fresh tenders.
"We can only biomine waste that's at least a year old, and since there's no other land, waste is being dumped here," said the commissioner.
Jayaram Venkatesan, convenor of anti-corruption NGO Arappor Iyakkam, said there's no accountability in tenders floated by GCC. "This pattern of giving contracts to inexperienced firms lacking technical qualification is seen in many projects. The GCC still has clauses to take legal action, but this has not been used, causing a years-long deadlock. In the end, it only affects people," he said.
The delayed biomining project poses a major flood threat to Velachery and Pallikaranai areas.

Cyclone Fengal Live: Cyclone Fengal hits Tamil Nadu coast, 4 killed in Chennai
Four people were killed in electrocutions in different parts of Chennai as Cyclone Fengal (pronounced Feinjal) brought 9cm to 13cm of rain across different parts of the city since Saturday morning. In its 7pm bulletin, IMD said the forward sector of spiral bands associated with the cyclone entered the land, and the system might take another three to four hours to further move and cross the coast near Puducherry. On Sunday, the weather system might continue to bring rainfall after it moves inland, as IMD issued an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall for Chennai and 13 districts, including the city's three neighbouring districts. A red alert for extremely heavy spells was issued to Villupuram, Kallakurichi and Cuddalore as they are closer to the landfall location. Bloggers said the cyclone was caught between high-pressure ridges, and much of the clouds around the storm on the seaside vanished by Saturday evening due to high wind shear. "Cyclone Fengal is going to be stuck off the Cheyyur-Marakkanam coast till Sunday morning," said blogger Pradeep John in one of his online posts. Tamil Nadu's coastal districts and Chennai on Saturday escaped with long spells of rain and strong winds. There was flooding and tree falls, but not to the extent feared. Public transport was kept to a minimum and since it was the weekend and schools, colleges and most offices were shut, people hardly ventured out. The centre of the cyclonic storm, which slowed down from 10kmph to 7kmph, changed directions from 90km southeast of Chennai to 90km south of the city after 2.30pm.

Cyclone Fengal Live: Cyclone Fengal induced rains cause heavy inundation, people park vehicles on flyovers
Barricades and umbrellas were swept away by gusty winds and road users scurried for cover as rains poured, with cyclone Fengal inching closer to the shoreline on Saturday, leaving many areas in and around Chennai under water.
Curiously, a lot of people, especially young men and women, frolicked at beaches, and strangely, visitors could be spotted at the Mamallapuram world heritage site too, despite the government warning people against going near beaches, in view of the high tides. Wind speed was pretty high in coastline areas such as Marakkanam in Villupuram district.
Rainwater entered the premises of two state-run hospitals at Chromepet, a general hospital and a facility for thoracic medicine, both of which are located side by side and frequented by people.
Water was close to the level of one's ankle even inside the hospital, leaving health care seekers and doctors in a tight spot. Police and local authorities placed sandbags at entry points and said all steps were being taken to address the issue. (PTI)
