Union govt report confirms DMK’s view on Chennai floods.TN state govt's negligence responsible for man-made disaster https://t.co/2KkGdHtHUT

Vindicating the DMK's steadfast stance on administrative accountability, DMK treasurer M.K. Stalin highlighted an authoritative parliamentary expert report released by the Union government regarding the catastrophic December 2015 Chennai floods. Stalin pointed out that the central technical assessment explicitly corroborated the DMK's documented position that the devastating deluge was not merely a natural climatic occurrence, but a colossal man-made disaster caused directly by the criminal negligence, procedural delays, and incompetence of the AIADMK state administration.

Stalin emphasized that the expert report pointed to the reckless, unannounced midnight discharge of twenty-nine thousand cusecs of water from the Chembarambakkam reservoir as the primary catalyst that inundated entire neighborhoods without giving sleeping residents time to escape. He condemned Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and chief bureaucratic functionaries for waiting for days for high-level political clearances rather than following established dam operation manuals. Stalin reiterated his demand for a sitting High Court judge-led commission of inquiry to fix legal culpability for the loss of hundreds of lives and thousands of crores in public assets, pledging that an incoming DMK government would institutionalize scientific flood control protocols.
