Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], December 9 (ANI): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin conducted a comprehensive review meeting with the Chief Secretary and various department secretaries to discuss the ongoing restoration works in the aftermath of the devastating floods caused by Cyclone Michaung in Chennai, Tiruvallur, and Kanchipuram districts.
In a dedicated effort to support the recovery process, Chief Minister Stalin announced that he will be donating his entire month’s salary to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund. He also called upon all Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) to contribute their funds to the relief efforts.
I donate my one month’s salary to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund for recovery from the Michaung storm disaster. I request all the members of the assembly and parliament to donate funds, said Chief Minister Stalin in a statement.
Earlier this week, Chief Minister Stalin wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to provide immediate interim relief funds of Rs 5,060 crores to assist the state of Tamil Nadu in its recovery from the destruction caused by Cyclone Michaung. He also requested the Prime Minister to send a central team to assess the damages inflicted by the cyclone.
Furthermore, the Tamil Nadu IAS Officers’ Association has pledged its support to the relief efforts in Chennai. The association has decided to contribute a day’s salary from its members to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund.
Cyclone Michaung made landfall in Tamil Nadu recently, resulting in heavy rains, powerful winds, and significant damage to infrastructure and homes. The cyclone has also tragically claimed several lives.
As the state continues to grapple with the aftermath of the disaster, Chief Minister Stalin’s initiatives, along with the support from various associations, will play a crucial role in expediting the restoration works and helping affected individuals rebuild their lives.
