In response to media queries on the flood situation in Tamil Nadu, the MFA Spokesman said:
“Our Consulate-General in Chennai has contacted most of the registered Singaporeans in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu. Those contacted have reported that they are safe. The Consulate is in the process of contacting the remaining Singaporeans. For Singaporeans wishing to return home, the Consulate has advised them to leave via Bangalore as Chennai International Airport remains closed till further notice.
