Centre’s apathy shocking

It was shocking to learn that the Centre is yet to release the Tamil Nadu's due share of 1,000 crore from the State Disaster Relief Fund to carry out relief and restoration work after cyclone Gaja. The cyclone has created extensive damage in the state's fertile delta region. It shows the low priority of the central government towards the suffering people who are yet to get proper accommodation for their survival. Some families lost their breadwinners in the cyclone. The government should consider that the people of the sate particularly in coastal areas are in desperate situation so it must provide them the financial support as soon as much.
