Belgian Peter Van Geit, who is a Chennai resident, has mobilised a movement over Facebook as trekkers and swimmers work to rescue victims
With their rescue activities not restricted to social media alone, Van Geit and a group of swimmers have taken to physically evacuating the stranded from low-lying areas that have been more deeply affected by flooding. Armed with floats, the group have also appealed for help from other swimmers on social media to join the rescue mission.
