Furthermore, as a measure to prevent accidents during the rainy season, a ban has been imposed on digging for road construction, bridge building, and other works in Chennai from the 15th.

Meanwhile, heavy rain has been lashing southern districts like Nellai, Thoothukudi, and Tenkasi since last night. Specifically, it has been raining heavily for over 9 hours in Tiruchendur and its surrounding areas like Kayalpattinam, Alanthalai, Thalavaipuram, and Paramankurichi in Thoothukudi district. As a result, District Collector Ilambagavath has ordered a holiday for schools only in Thoothukudi district.

Similarly, due to heavy rain in areas like Palayamkottai, Pettai, and Cheranmahadevi in Nellai, the respective district collectors have also declared holidays for schools only in Nellai and Tenkasi districts.
