Modi said the government stands by the people of Tamil Nadu in their hour of need.
The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) on Wednesday estimated that the financial loss due to the rains may exceed Rs.15,000 crore.
Small and medium enterprises, automobile and engineering industries, information technology (IT), ITeS, textile, tourism and a host of other sectors have been badly affected by the biggest rainfall in a 100 years.
