Chennai has been experiencing the worst flood ever to hit the state in about a hundred years. The water is mercilessly drowning half the city. However, the crisis hasn’t stopped the people of Chennai from coming forward to help those in need. In one of the most positive stories that came out of all the gloom surrounding Chennai is that of ‘The Super Milk Woman’ Radha.

The image of Chennai’s Milk Lady Radha, who didn’t fail to deliver milk despite Chennai Floods has gone viral on social media when it was posted online by one Chennai resident, Ramanathan S on December 2 on Twitter. The tweet has grabbed so much attention which got more than 3000 retweets and over 2000 likes. By the afternoon of December 2, Radha was an internet celebrity.

“Even if the wind is blowing or the sky is pouring, I will deliver,” says Chennai-based Radha, who has been delivering milk in the city since the late 1970s. The 60-year-old, who has been working with Aavin, Tamil Nadu’s state milk cooperative, did not hesitate to wake up at 4 am on 2 December and wade through knee-high water to pick up the milk from her vendors and complete her duties, reported The News Minute, after a tweet showing Radha wading through waist-deep water went viral.

“On the morning of December 2, 2015, Radha woke up at 4 am as usual and went to the Aavin pick up point at 5 am sharp. By 6, she was at Srividhya Apartments, with 300 packets of milk. She had braved chest-level waters to get the milk and bring it to her customers. Just the previous night, Chennai had received 30cm rainfall. As she was returning from the apartment complex, a resident Padma Ramani clicked a picture of her, and it was posted online by Ramanathan S,” reported The News Minute.

But when Radha would go to so much trouble to deliver milk, she told The News Minute: “So many people are dependent on me, how can I not go? And so much milk would go waste if I don’t deliver it!” adding, “For me, Aavin is not just a job. I made my life out of it. I’ll do it till my body allows it.”
