Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa urged the Centre to postpone the civil services main examinations by minimum two months. It was actually scheduled from 18 December 2015. The CM intends to allow the students of the state to be able to prepare enough, who were seriously disturbed by the floods.
Jayalalithaa wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which he was asked to use PM’s good offices with the Union Public Service Commission to postpone the examinations so that aspirants would be enabled to make up for lost time.
She has stated, "This would provide the TN students a level playing field with their counterparts,"
"There was considerable interruption to various services including electricity supply. Schools and colleges are expected to reopen only December 14," she added.
Very recently, record rainfall in Chennai along with overflow water from reservoirs paralyzed life besides hammering rescue operations. Swelling rivers submerged bridges. Water has over flown from lakes in the suburbs. Thousands of people lost shelters. Many thousands were struck at the homes without water, food and electricity.
