The protest disrupted traffic and left school students stranded.

Protestors from Wards 10 and 11 of Kottakuppam municipality, primarily Adi Dravidar residents, claimed they were excluded from the relief package announced by the Tamil Nadu government. The package includes ₹2,000 cash, rice and groceries for cyclone-affected residents.

Protesters alleged that officials failed to conduct damage assessments in their areas despite severe flooding caused by cyclone Fengal.
