In an unfortunate incident, 15 people were killed after a wall collapsed this morning in a village near Mettupalayam in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore district, as heavy rains continue to batter the southern state. Rescue operations are currently underway to help those trapped in the debris in Nadur village. Nine bodies have been recovered from the spot so far, NDTV reported. Here are more details.

With several areas severely waterlogged, schools and colleges have been ordered to remain shut in the capital city of Chennai, Tuticorin, Tiruvallur, and Kancheepuram. Further, torrential rains are likely to continue in various parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. A red alert, hinting at heavy to very heavy rainfall, has been issued in several parts of the state and the union territory.

Details
Previously, 3 people had died in rain-related incidents

Furthermore, rains are are expected to cross coastal Tamil Nadu due to a cyclonic circulation near Comorin on the Indian Ocean. At least three people had died in different parts of Tamil Nadu in rain-related incidents in the last few days.
