When Cyclone Michaung made its landfall in Chennai on 4th December 2023, torrential rains of more than 500 mm pounded the city over three days, throwing daily life out of gear. Unable to cope with these heavy rains, the Adayar and Cooum Rivers were in spate and most areas of the city were waterlogged. Roads were unmotorable and electricity was shut, leading to severe shortage of food and essential items.  On 8th December, Team SSM Chennai of The Satsang Foundation (TSF) joined hands with ExNoRa International and local agencies to set up a kitchen in a dharmashala and served cooked meals to 1200 residents of less privileged neighborhoods in Perumbakkam, one of the worst-affected localities.  Join our Satsang Seva Mission teams to help with relief work and support the rehabilitation of the affected.
