    Tamil Nadu: Heavy rains leave 2 dead; schools shut
    Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai forecasts moderate rain with thunderstorms and lightning over many districts of Tamil Nadu

    Heavy rains in Chennai and its adjoining areas over the last few days have thrown life out of gear especially due to waterlogging. At least two people were also killed in rain-related incidents on Tuesday even as the northeast monsoon continues to hover over Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted more rains and issued a fresh thunderstorm alert for the state.

    Two persons killed in record rainfall

    According to The Indian Express, at least two people have been killed in rain-related incidents in Chennai since Monday. Shanthi, 45, of Pulianthope died on Tuesday morning after a concrete slab collapsed on her, and Devendhiran, 52, an auto driver, was electrocuted to death near Vyasarpadi, it said. Meanwhile, the capital city received over 126.1 mm of rain within the last 24 hours.

    Heavy downpour leads to waterlogging

    Rainfall was widespread in Chennai and the surrounding areas of Thiruvallur, Ranipet, Vellore, Kanchipuram, Villupuram, and Chengalpattu, prompting officials to close schools and colleges. Meanwhile, water infiltrated houses in low-lying areas of north Chennai. According to reports, city areas such as Nungambakkam, Red Hills, and Perambur received significant rain in a single day for the first time in three decades.
