<span style="color: black;">For
the second time in weeks, life in Chennai has been brought to a
grinding halt because of flooding. The city received overnight rain
that was the worst in a century, forcing the state government to
release water from overflowing reservoirs and lakes around the city.
This brought the floodwaters rushing through the Adyar River, which
flows through the core of the city. Flights and trains to and from
Chennai have been either delayed or cancelled, leaving passengers
stranded across the country.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">India
eased foreign direct investment norms in sectors including mining,
defence, civil aviation and broadcasting, in a bid to drum up
investment and speed up growth. According to the government's

rationalise and simplify the process of foreign investments in the
country and to put more and more FDI proposals on automatic route
instead of government route where time and energy of the investors is
wasted."</span></div>
