New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday met senior cabinet ministers, including Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj and Venkaiah Naidu and reportedly discussed emergency measures to be taken to assist the government in rain-ravaged Tamil Nadu, and especially help the people of Chennai, which has been the recipient of heavy rains over the last week.

"Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said the Government of India was willing to extend all support, saying 'This is not just a Chennai problem; it is a problem of the entire country."
