Flights have resumed in the southern Indian city of
Chennai (Madras) after a week of devastating floods.Operations were halted last week after heavy rains
flooded the airport and damaged key equipment.
A massive relief operation is continuing to get food and
medicines to tens of thousands of people. Many residents are still living in
shelters.
Key services like power supply and the railways are also
functioning as flood waters have receded in some areas.
Some flights, including an Air India service to Port
Blair, took off on Sunday. But the airport resumed full operations for both
domestic and international flights on Monday, Press Trust of India news agency
reported.
