Cauvery Delta Region Experiences Heavy Rainfall, Leading to Waterlogging and Crop Concerns

While drainage issues are noted in low-lying coastal areas, authorities have deployed teams to clear drains and pump out water. Rainfall intensity varied, with some areas recording significant amounts, and overcast conditions persisted.
