Ashwin shared a retweet of a random user who belongs to Chennai and raised concerns about power cuts in an area near Grand Mall in Chennai.
In an earlier post on Chennai floods, Ashwin urged people to hang tight. "Even if the rain stops, recovery is going to take a while," his earlier post read.
Twelve people have lost their lives in various rain-hit incidents induced by Cyclone Michaung in and around Chennai.
