What happened
Heavy downpours associated with the intensifying Northeast monsoon caused landslips and waterlogging across Kodaikanal, Palani, and Dindigul. In Kodaikanal, the heavy rain triggered landslips along the main ghat road, leading to traffic disruption. Authorities subsequently instructed the public to avoid visiting Kodaikanal and Thandikudi due to safety concerns.
