AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Tuesday demanded that those affected by the recent spell of heavy rain be given ₹5,000 or ₹10,000 in flood relief.
In a statement, he said those affected by two spells of heavy rain in November and December should be given ₹10,000 each and those who bore the impact of the rain once should get ₹5,000 each. He made this demand in the light of Chennai having suffered inundation on Thursday last after an unexpected spell of rain.
Mr. Panneerselvam referred to reports of paddy bags getting damaged in Thanjavur district in the rain and urged Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to get them shifted to protected places belonging to the Central and State governments.
