The New Indian Express Chennai
|March 31, 2025
15 years on, kin say they've received minimal aid, seek ₹20L, on lines of relief given to those hit by Ockhi
Though 15 years have passed, families of the 2009 cyclone Phyan victims from Thoothoor in Kanniyakumari are still waging a battle to receive compensation from the government.
The affected families had requested a compensation of ₹20 lakh each and a permanent government job to a family member, as granted to the kin of victims of Cyclone Ockhi in 2017.
Sources said that while some families received only ₹1 lakh as accident insurance and ₹1 lakh as TN Fishermen Welfare Board assistance, other families received just ₹1 lakh CM Relief Fund.
