The government’s main priority now is to restore electricity to all pockets, deliver milk and repair road stretches and bridges / causeways which were badly damaged or cut off in the recent floods in Thoothukudi, said Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena in Thoothukudi on December 24.
The Chief Secretary, who has been camping here since Saturday, told media persons that he had visited many locations to have an assessment from the flooded spots. The damages were very heavy in pockets like Eral and in Srivaikuntam. Things were coming to near normalcy because of the continued works by multiple departments, he said.
The officials are repairing water bodies, which were breached due to the flooding. Once the tanks are repaired, water can be stored, and it would pave way for supplying water for irrigation to the farmers.
