The Centre on Friday extended support to those affected in Tamil Nadu due to Cyclone Nivar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced relief to the kin of those killed. The PM spoke to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palniswami who apprised him of the situation in the state.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, the prime minister informed that Central teams would be deputed the state for all assistance. Cyclone Nivar which wreaked havoc in 18 districts of the state has claimed four lives besides leaving several cattle dead and over 2,000 trees uprooted, Palaniswami said, a day after the very severe storm made landfall. 

“Spoke to Tamil Nadu CM Thiru and discussed the situation in the wake of the cyclone and heavy rainfall in parts of the state. Central teams are being sent to Tamil Nadu to assist in rescue and relief work,” a PMO tweet said.

In another tweet, it said the PM condoled the loss of lives and prayed for quick recovery of the injured. “An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh each would be given to the next of kin of the persons deceased and Rs 50,000 each to the injured, from the PMNRF,” it added.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu CM Palaniswami announced Rs 10 lakh each to the families of the victims. The cyclone had crossed the coast between Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on November 26 morning but spared the state of very large scale destruction as witnessed during the Gaja cyclone two years ago that crossed the coast between Nagapattinam and Vedaranyam in the south.

Apart from uprooting 2,064 trees in the affected districts, including Chennai, Cuddalore, Chengalpattu, Vellore and Nagapattinam, it caused damage to about 108 power transformers and over 2,927 electric poles, Palaniswami said in a statement. The work to clear the fallen trees and restore the transformers was being taken up on a war-footing, he said.

“The state government swung into action immediately after receiving an alert about the cyclone from the Indian Meteorological Department. Strict measures were put in place to prevent casualties due to the cyclone.” “However, I am very saddened to learn that four persons have lost their lives due to the unexpected cyclone and heavy rain,” he said.

Palaniswami expressed his deepest condolences to the victims’ families and said he has ordered financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh each — Rs four lakh from the State Disaster Relief Fund and Rs six lakh from the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund. Also, he announced compensation for the loss of 61 cows, five bulls, 65 calves and 114 goats in the storm to cattle owners, ranging between Rs 3,000 and Rs 30,000.

About 302 huts and 38 tiled houses were completely damaged and 1,439 huts and 161 tiled houses suffered partial damage. Appropriate assistance would be provided to the people whose houses were damaged due to the cyclone, he said. Asserting that prompt measures averted a major catastrophe, Palaniswami said people living in low-lying areas were evacuated to safety and lodged in relief camps.

They were provided food, water, mats and blankets. In addition, each family was provided 10 kg rice, dhoti, saree, a litre of kerosene, lentils and cooking oil. Steps were on to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by organising medical camps which so far benefitted about 85,331 people.

On the problem of inundation in the city and suburbs, Palaniswami said he has directed the authorities to formulate appropriate plans to find a permanent solution, especially in areas like Velachery, Mudichur, Varadarajapuram and Tambaram. Compensation to farmers for crop loss would be provided after assessing the extent of the damage.
