The Tamil Nadu Government sent 300 tonnes relief materials in three ships from V. O. C. Port here to cyclone-ravaged Sri Lanka on Saturday.

In the presence of District Collector K. Elambahavath, Corporation Commissioner C. Priyanka, Additional Collector (Development) R. Aishwarya, Mayor Jegan Periyasamy and Revenue Divisional Officer M. Prabhu, Minister for Social Welfare P. Geetha Jeevan flagged off the ships carrying 300 tonnes of dhal and sugar.
