At least 4 bodies have been recovered after seven of one family died in Tamil Nadu after a large stone crushed their home due to Cyclone Fengal. Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin has announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 Lakh for the bereaved family.
Initially the rescue operation was delayed as there was a huge rock over the debris which needed the help of disaster relief teams. Subsequently, the NDRF and SDRF teams along with the local police engaged in rescuing people buried under the debris.
