As there are just four days left for the end of the lockdown imposed in several parts of Tamil Nadu  Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami is all set to have a meeting on June 29, with a panel of experts who had previously recommended the total lockdown. 

The Chief Minister will have a discussion with the panel on the effects of this lockdown and whether it was effective in lessening the number of cases in places like Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu where the lockdown was imposed, besides places like Madurai and Theni where lockdown was imposed late.
