In view of the dangerous flood situation caused by the unprecedented rains in Tamil Nadu, the Road Transport, Highways & Shipping ministry has ordered suspension of toll collection on all national highways in Tamil Nadu till December 11.

The order to come into force with immediate effect has been issued to ease the rescue, relief and rehabilitation operations being undertaken by various central and state agencies on war footings and to help the stranded and marooned people in different parts of the state.

Rescue and relief operations were in full swing today in the worst flood-affected areas of Chennai and suburbs and neighbouring districts, which enjoyed a welcome respite from torrential rains as Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a Rs. 1,000 crore more aid to Tamil Nadu.
