Heartbroken by the tragic death of 9 fishermen from Kasimedu, Chennai (Tamil Nadu), who were caught in Cyclone Murasu off the Andhra coast after their boat broke down. Deepest condolences to the grieving families.

​I urge both the Central and TN State Govts to provide ₹25 Lakhs each as ex-gratia compensation to the victims’ families.
