Published by Webster

Chennai: A second landslide hit the Tamil Nadu temple town of Tiruvannamalai Monday afternoon, a day after a first led to a boulder falling on a residential building and trapping five to seven people, of whom at least one has died. The first took place Sunday at 4.30 pm on the lower slopes of the famous Annamalaiyar Hill after heavy rainfall – courtesy Cyclone Fengal, which crossed the coast Saturday afternoon near capital Chennai – battered the district. Rescue ops – aided by a team of experts from the Indian Institute of Technology in Chennai – are ongoing, but have been hampered by heavy rain and the threat of another boulder balanced precariously further uphill.

The southern state has received heavy rainfall since Fengal made landfall. That rainfall continued Monday, two days later, with Viluppuram district in northern Tamil Nadu battling unprecedented floods; washed out bridges and overflowing virtually blocked access to …
