Chennai/UNI: As the Cyclonic Storm 'Burevi' is said to have crossed the southern coast, the Tamil Nadu government on Thursday declared a public holiday for six districts tomorrow.

This will be compensated with a working day on any of the Saturdays next month.

It would be re-opened after the cyclone crossed the coast.
