    Due to unseasonal rainfall in numerous parts of Tamil Nadu since Wednesday night, schools and colleges in Nagapattinam were forced to announce a holiday on Thursday.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted southern Tamil Nadu to receive heavy rainfall for the day.

    IMD on Wednesday evening announced that a depression has formed over the southwest part of the Bay of Bengal, approximately 400km away from Tamil Nadu's Karaikal and 80km away from the coast of Sri Lanka.
