Anna University has announced dates for exams which were postponed due to Cyclone Gaja that had a landfall in Tamil Nadu killing over 45 dead. The exam which was slated for November 15 will be held on November 22. There were other exams which were scheduled between November 15 and November 20, but couldn't take place as the state was reeling under the aftermath of the cyclonic rains. 

All those exams will be held between December 13-17. 

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Tuesday visited the districts hit by Cyclone Gaja, distributed relief materials among the affected people and said he would meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi later this week to seek central assistance.

Even as life was limping back to normal five days after the cyclone that left 46 people dead, a fresh spell of rain hit parts of the Cauvery delta region, hampering relief work since this morning.The weather office has forecast heavy rains in the region under the influence of a well-marked low pressure in the southwest of Bay of Bengal.

The rains also forced Palaniswami to cut short his tour of the ravaged districts as the inclement weather prevented his helicopter from landing in Nagapattinam and Tiruvarur. Cyclone Gaja crossed the coast near Vedaranyam in Nagapattinam district, about 300 km from Chennai, with a speed of up to 120 kmph last Friday, leaving a trail of destruction in over 10 districts in the southern part of the state.
