Tamil Nadu Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin has criticised the state government after three of nine missing Chennai fishermen were found dead in Andhra Pradesh's Prakasam district. Questioning why the fishermen were allowed to venture into the sea amid Cyclone Murasu warnings, Stalin alleged delays and inaction in rescue efforts. He has demanded higher compensation for the families of the deceased and measures to prevent similar tragedies. The Tamil Nadu government has announced relief of ₹7 lakh, according to the report.
