Fifteen days after the December 26 disaster, the focus had shifted to relief of a more permanent nature and rehabilitation of the affected. K. Lakshminarayanan, Minister for Education and Revenue, who is in charge of the relief operations, told Frontline that offers of funds and assistance were pouring in from different parts of the country, besides the Union government's Rs.50-crore initial assistance. "We hope to get more," he said. The Pondicherry government has expressed its readiness to build strong houses for the victims, which would be made of materials that could withstand cyclones, earthquakes and other such disasters. In building new houses, the government would adopt new technologies, the Minister said. He also said that the government would extend all help to the affected fishermen to buy boats and nets.
