Government urged to provide relief

CHENNAI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has urged the State Government to provide immediate relief to people affected by the recent rains.

Apart from providing necessary relief to the families of those who died in rain and rain-related accidents, the Government should take up relief measures in affected areas. Agricultural workers and unorganised workers in rain-hit rural and urban areas should be given assistance, party state secretary N. Vararajan said in a statement here on Thursday. — Special Correspondent
