PM Modi to review post Cyclone Ockhi situation in Tamil Nadu, Kerala
Chennai/Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 19 (IBNS): After the conclusion of full electoral battles in Gujarat and Himachal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday went to Mangalore to review the post Cyclone Ockhi situation in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Modi is scheduled to visit Lakshadweep, Tamil Nadu and Kerala on Tuesday.
He will meet cyclone victims, fishermen, farmers, officials and public representatives.
Though the Tamil Nadu government initially claimed 100 fishermen went missing, the actual figure is 398, reports said.
Ockhi has devastated normal lives in many areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
In Kanyakumari and Thoothukudi districts of Tamil Nadu, strong winds uprooted more than 500 trees, snapped power lines and damaged settlements close to the sea.
The name Ockhi was given by Bangladesh, under the the tropical cyclone naming system initiated by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in 2000.
