A flood alert has been issued for 22 villages in Vellore and Ranipet districts
Marooned residents from low-lying areas along the Bengaluru Highway in Vellore were rescued by the Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services on Friday.
More than 20 persons from Thideer Nagar, Kansalpet, Indira Nagar, Periyar Nagar and Konavattam were accommodated in temporary shelters.
These localities, to the rear of the Vellore Fort, were flooded after lakes, including Sathupueri, Otteri and Sitheri, breached in the rain that lashed the district since last week.
