Ardern while sympathizing with the family says their thoughts are with the grieving family.

“I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family of Janesh Prasad who lost his life as a result of the tornado in Auckland. I know everyone’s though are with his wife, children, friends and colleagues.”

The late Prasad is survived by his wife and two children.

It is believed that Prasad died while working at the South Auckland Freight Hub in Wiri after he was picked up by a tornado.
