Cyclone Michaung made landfall in Tamil Nadu earlier this month, bringing with it heavy rains, strong winds, and subsequent damages to infrastructure and homes, apart from the loss of lives.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has allocated a sum of one crore and 90 lakh rupees for the cleaning work of schools in the cyclone-ravaged districts of Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram, and Thiruvallur.
With the receding floodwaters, the state government is actively engaged in relief efforts across Chennai and its adjacent districts. As part of these efforts, over 800 medical camps were organised in the capital city.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Soori began his career in 1996 with Sundar C Kannan Varuvaan (2000), starring Karthik, and has come a long way since then.
He was recently seen in National Award-winning director Vetrimaaran’s film ‘Viduthalai’ as a lead.
The film marked Soori’s debut as a lead actor after 25 years in the Tamil film industry.
The film also starred actors Vijay Sethupathi, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Bhavani Sre in the lead roles. (ANI)
