Chennai: An Inter-Ministerial team deputed by the Centre to assess the damage in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry by cyclonic storm 'Thane' today met state officials, headed by Chief Secretary Debendranath Sarangi.
The 10-member team, led by Lokesh Jha, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs, will split up into smaller teams to assess damage in affected districts of Tamil Nadu such as Cuddalore and the neighbouring Puducherry on Sunday.
