Relief agencies reckon that the Centre needs to relax FCRA regulations to ease the flow of funds from overseas as the state government will find it difficult to mobilize the resources despite donations from corporate and celebrities. The relief works are in full flow in Chennai and cuddalore and many NGIO are gathering from various countries and from celebrities. A letter was written to home minister Rajnath Singh and urged him to waive the FCRA prior approval for receipt of foreign funds received for relief and rehabilitation work by various NGOs and agencies for a limited period as done after the 2004 Tsunami that struck Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry.
