Heavy Rainfall Affects Central Tamil Nadu Districts, Disrupts Traffic and Power
Central districts including Tiruchi, Pudukottai, and Ariyalur experienced moderate to heavy rainfall, with some areas recording up to 11 cm in 24 hours. The rain caused traffic disruptions and power outages in Tiruchi city and brought relief from the summer heat. Farmers protested in Pudukottai over paddy moisture content issues but withdrew after talks. The rainfall is expected to benefit local agriculture, including samba paddy cultivation, and has reached some previously dry areas.
