According to the report, citizens even heckled senior ministers like Natham Viswanathan, Sellur Raju and Gokul Indira.
Many even claimed that six Cuddalore-bound trucks coming from Coimbatore were stopped by a group of people at Sriperumbudur and Amma stickers were forcibly pasted on every relief material before the vehicles were cleared.
Military and NDRF teams are on the ground rescuing people, and providing relief materials to those in need.
