NEW DELHI - Heavy rains have disrupted the normal life in some areas of India's southern states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala as well as Puducherry district over the past few days, Xinhua quoted an official of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) as saying on Thursday.
As a result of incessant rains leading to water logging, schools have been shut in at least five districts of Tamil Nadu.
The situation was similar in neighbouring Puducherry, where schools were closed on Wednesday due to heavy rains that continued for hours.
The IMD has predicted further rainy spells in these areas over the next few days this week. "Heavy to very heavy rainfall was recorded at isolated places over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, and heavy rainfall at isolated places over Kerala," said the IMD in an official statement. -BERNAMA
