Rainy Wednesday slows down Puducherry; schools get a break

India Dec 03, 2025

Puducherry woke up to intermittent drizzle and cloudy skies on Wednesday, making daily life a bit tricky.
Bahour saw the most rain at 87mm, while other areas got lighter showers.
Because of the weather, all schools in the region are closed for the day.

Why does this matter?

The northeast monsoon has already brought 801mm since October, leaving daily wage workers and farmers struggling with losses.
The Communist Party of India is urging the government to step in with financial help: ₹5,000 for workers and ₹25,000 per hectare for farmers hit by the rains.
