“The government should increase the financial aid from 6,000 to 12,000 rupees and also the government should do relief measures immediately,” said Palaniswami.
Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Palaniswami also accused the current DMK government of being inactive, which brought misery to people following cyclone “Michaung”.
Earlier, Chief Minister MK Stalin had on Saturday announced a cash aid of Rs 6,000 each to the affected families.
Palaniswami held the DMK government responsible for the “lack of preparedness” to tackle the Cyclone Michaung-induced situation and this has affected people badly.
“People of Chennai, suburban of Chennai and neighbouring districts like Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, and Thiruvallur struggled in cyclone Michaung and floods caused by it due to inactive DMK government which didn’t take any precautionary measures,” said Palaniswami.
