Fresh applications for Rs 6,000 cyclone relief in Chennai and adjacent districts reached 5.56 lakh, with over 4.9 lakh families applying in Chennai alone by Thursday. Additionally, 29,086 families from Kanchipuram, 22,130 from Tiruvallur, and 14,827 from Chengalpattu also sought relief.

Out of the total 24.25 lakh cardholders, 5.28 lakh individuals are eligible to apply for assistance in Chennai and three other districts. However, their eligibility is contingent upon verification by the revenue department. Cyclone Michaung caused widespread devastation in Chennai, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, and Chengalpattu districts. Various areas in these districts experienced waterlogging, disrupting normal life for several days in low-lying areas.
