Palaniswami said he had directed that a sum of Rs five lakh be deposited in the Tamil Nadu Power Finance and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited as relief for the seven year-old daughter of the couple killed in the wall collapse.
Monthly interest from the sum would be used for the child's expenses, he said in a statement.
Three members of the family were killed when the wall of their house at Thiruvavaduthurai village collapsed due to heavy rains.
