Singh spoke to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and sanctioned the relief, PMO sources said.

Winding up his two-day visit to the disaster-struck areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the Prime Minister said earlier in the day that he would announce the relief for Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry after speaking to the respective chief ministers.

He has already announced Rs 100 crore each for Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
