4:03Now PlayingIn India, one of the country’s oldest newspapers, The Hindu, did not print today for the first time in more than a century due to massive rains and floods in the southern city of Chennai. The publisher said it was the first time the daily paper has failed to publish in its entire 137-year history. Local officials say floods have killed 188 people over recent weeks and Indian government has deployed the army to rescue thousands of people stranded in Chennai. We speak with the managing editor of The Hindu, G. Ananthakrishnan. "We don’t know how we’ll distribute the paper tomorrow. It’s going to be very difficult," Ananthakrishnan says. "It’s a deluge."
