Brussels attack: Jayalalithaa writes to PM Modi, asks MEA to trace missing man for Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to instruct Ministry of External Affairs to take steps to trace Raghavendran Ganeshan, who is missing after the bomb blast in Brussels.

Seeking urgent attention in the case, Jayalalithaa in her letter to Modi said Raghavendran Ganeshan, a native of Tamil Nadu was listed as missing in the recent bomb blasts in Brussels.

"Raghavendran Ganeshan is the eldest son of his parents who hail from Tamil Nadu. His young wife is currently living in Chennai, after delivering the first child", she said.

"The whole family is extremely anxious to hear word of him and to know about his whereabouts and safety. They have appealed to me to help trace their son," she said.

She requested Modi to instruct the Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian Embassy in Brussels to provide the family all necessary assistance to trace Raghavendran Ganeshan at the earliest.

"This assistance would be of great help and solace to the very worried family", she said.

He has gone missing in Brussels since Tuesday's deadly terror strike at the Brussels airport and the metro which left 31 dead and 300 injured.
