Cyclone Ockhi: More than 80 fishermen go missing

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], December 1 (ANI): At least 80 fishermen and 50 boats have gone missing after cyclone Ockhi lashed the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala with torrential rainfall and gusty winds.

On Thursday, a man in an autorickshaw died in Kollam after a tree fell on the three-wheeler, two others were electrocuted in Trivandrum and a woman died after a tree fell on her house in Vizhinjam due to the cyclone.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has already issued an alert of heavy to very heavy rainfall in both the states.
