Chennai, Oct 30 (IBNS): As Chennai is witnessing havoc downpour which has practically left life out of gear in the city, the Tamil Nadu government has directed all schools to remain closed on Tuesday.

Earlier, at least one person was killed in Tamil Nadu as rains pounded several parts of the state, partially disrupting normal life, reports said.

The heavy downpour caused deluge and traffic snarls in some areas.
