Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) president G.K. Vasan on Monday (December 9, 2024) said the Tamil Nadu government must take all the precautionary measures to protect people and crops from rains, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) having predicted the formation of a new low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, which may bring heavy rainfall this week.
Since the warning for heavy rains for six days has come at a time when people have not yet recovered from Cyclone Fengal, the State government should function with utmost attention and the public should act with awareness, he said in a statement.
People are suffering because not enough precautionary measures were taken, Mr. Vasan alleged.
He reiterated that the compensation announced by the State government for those affected by Cyclone Fengal was insufficient and urged for it to be increased.
