Malls, cinemas open up

Malls, cinemas and educational institutions in the city threw open their doors for people who were stranded in the floods.

Phoenix Market City mall in Velachery, where many areas were severely flooded, tweeted and said that they were ready to accommodate people stranded due to the floods, provided they had a valid ID proof.



Theatres soon followed suit and Sathyam Cinemas opened up their five screens in Royapettah, Express Avenue Mall, Perambur and Thiruvanmiyur for people who needed a place.

"We had over 20 families from the surrounding areas which were flooded. They stayed overnight on Tuesday and we provided them with basic refreshments. Through the day on Wednesday, we have had people coming in as well," said a representative of AGS Cinemas, which opened up their Villivakkam multiplex for people.

Madras Christian College, Crescent College and SRM College Kattankulathur also announced that people were welcome on their campus to take refuge overnight on Tuesday

Food distributed

For food too, enterprises in the city did not stint in contributing. The Old Madras Baking House, a chain of bakeries in the city announced on Tuesday that people were welcome across their branches in the city.

An employee said that while they did not have any people come to their outlets in the night, they had people visiting in the morning who were given bread and coffee.

Zomato, a food app announced an initiative for Chennai Flood Relief where they partnered with more than 10 restaurants in the city to distribute free food to the needy. If any resident orders food on the app to be given to the needy, Zomato doubles the order and delivers.

"We could chose from options given to provide meals for two, four or 100 persons. Once we place our order, the food is directly sent to a central dispatch point where it is then distributed," said Divya. M, a resident who contributed to the initiative.

GiveAway, a social organisation partnered with online grocery store Bigbasket and had run a crowd-funded campaign to collect funds for flood-affected residents. Food was transported to rain-affected areas on Wednesday according to a post on Facebook.
