Jun 24, 2019

Madurai (Tamil Nadu), June 24 (ANI): Special Namaz is being offered and fasts are being observed by numerous devotees in Madurai for rains on Monday. This comes in the wake of the heat wave causing acute water crisis in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is reeling under acute water crisis stress for the past several months as Chennai's Porur lake, one of the main sources of water has reached its lowest level. The water scarcity has caused many schools and hotels to shut down and leaving many surviving on very little water. Moreover, scorching heat and delayed monsoon have further exacerbated the situation.
