Torrential Rains Paralyze Tamil Nadu – Train Disruptions, Schools & Colleges Closed

Heavy rains pounded Tamil Nadu, causing widespread disruption in districts like Kanyakumari, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, and Tenkasi. A cyclonic storm looms over the Comorin area, triggering a red alert with the regional meteorological centre predicting continued heavy to very heavy rainfall.

Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena announced the involvement of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to combat the unprecedented flooding, deploying 84 boats for rescue operations. The deluge has submerged areas in knee-to-waist-deep water, leading to the closure of schools and colleges.
