<strong>Tamil</strong> Nadu CM to visit cyclone <strong>Ockhi</strong>-hit Kanyakumari<br />

district today<br />

<strong>Dec</strong> 12, <strong>2017</strong>, 11:35 IST<br />

KANYAKUMARI: <strong>Tamil</strong> Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palanisami will visit<br />

Kanyakumari district on Tuesday afternoon -- 13 days after cyclone <strong>Ockhi</strong>-battered<br />

the region.<br />

The cyclone that hit the area on November 29 night and November 30 damaged<br />

thousands of electric poles and trees. It claimed several lives. Many fishermen have<br />

been missing since then.<br />

Fishermen were demanding that the chief minister visit the affected coastal hamlets.<br />

They alleged that the efforts taken by the <strong>Tamil</strong> Nadu government and the Centre in<br />

tracing the nearly 500 fishermen were inadequate.<br />

The chief minister will meet representatives of fishermen at St Jude's College,<br />

Thoothoor, around 3pm.<br />

He is also expected to visit some of the badly affected banana plantations in the area<br />

before chairing a review meeting at the district collectorate, Nagercoil, in the<br />

evening.<br />

Representatives of fishermen communities and organisations are gearing up to<br />

petition the chief minister.<br />

Elaborate security arrangements have been made as there were possibilities of<br />

fishermen staging protests or resorting to road blocks.<br />
