Given the situation, all private and government schools and colleges in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry have been shut today.
Cyclone Fengal, which made landfall near Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, weakened into a deep depression on Sunday, but heavy rains and floods continued to pound several parts of the state and union territory. Tamil Nadu's Krishnagiri district was one of the worst hit in the last two days with several vehicles being dragged from a road into low-lying areas.
Visuals showed massive floodwaters at the Uthangiri bus station in Krishnagiri as several buses and other vehicles were submerged. Some buses and cars can also be seen being swept away slowly in the rapidly flowing floods.
According to officials, the Krishnagiri district has been receiving heavy rainfall for over 14 hours straight with the Uthangarai area recording the highest rainfall last night.
