Heavy rainfall in the Nilgiris district, particularly in Coonoor and Kotagiri, caused multiple landslips on January 2, 2026. Significant landslips in Coonoor damaged vehicles and inundated homes. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway services were cancelled due to boulders on the tracks and landslips along the route. While no injuries or fatalities were reported, restoration efforts are underway to resume train operations.
