An inter-ministerial central team will assess the damage caused by Cyclone Fengal in various districts of Tamil Nadu. The team will arrive in Chennai on Friday evening. A senior official told TNIE that the team is likely to inspect the rain-affected districts on December 7 and 8. The complete itinerary for the visit of the central team is yet to be prepared.
In the normal course, any central team would hold a meeting with Chief Minister MK Stalin first and then move to the rain-affected places. After a wrap-up meeting with the chief secretary and revenue secretary, the team will leave for New Delhi. Since the cyclone has affected 14 districts and severely affected at least half of them, the central team is likely to be split into three or four groups to assess the damage in different areas.
