Explanation
Due to the heavy rains in Tamil Nadu, rainwater is stagnant in many places. In many districts, including Chennai, floodwaters have inundated houses and people are suffering because of it. In particular, there have been video and news reports of people fishing in the floodwaters from the lake and snakes entering residential areas.
Meanwhile, a 29-second video criticizing the DMK government for the influx of catfish into floodwaters is being circulated on social media.
What is the Truth?
While searching for the viral video, the ‘therakyatpost’ website states that the video went viral that catfish had entered homes during the floods in Malaysia in November 2020.
