After torrential rains and floods forced their closure for nearly a month, schools and colleges in Chennai and its neighbouring districts reopened today. Soon after the onset of the north-east monsoon in October, incessant rains hampered normal life with the city recording heavy rainfall last week, leading to the inundation of large areas.

As there has been no rains over last few days and normal life is getting restored, schools and colleges reopened today. University examinations have already been postponed by the government.
