Rural and tribal populations were most negatively affected by this storm. Parts of Dindigul District were severely damaged, so our partners working in this district were heavily involved in relief efforts, which included helping people seek temporary shelter and food assistance and linking them with government supported aid. Local authority elections in Tamil Nadu continued to be delayed. Since October 2016 Tamil Nadu has been functioning without 200 ward councillors and 12,524 panchayat leaders. The absence of these officials has resulted in delays at the local level for some government services. The State Election Commission is expected to announce a new election date at the end of May 2019 once the national elections are completed. Virudhungar District facilitators conference.

Progress Towards Systems Change Our partners are engaging at the local, state, and national levels to inform policy debates, improve implementation of existing laws and policies, and encourage systemic change. At the state level, the Tamil Nadu Alliance (TNA) was actively supporting the Tamil Nadu government to take responsibility for the needs of migrant workers coming from other states.
