Heavy rain lashed the hill town of Kodaikanal in Dindigul district for more than an hour on Thursday afternoon, disrupting normal life. Roads were inundated as rainwater overflowed from poorly maintained stormwater channels, causing further damage to road surfaces.

The Chennai Regional Meteorological Centre has forecast rainfall in several districts of Tamil Nadu. Against this backdrop, heavy showers lashed various parts of the Kodaikanal hills on Thursday afternoon.

The rain affected several localities in the town, including Moonjikkal, Lake Road, Ugarthenagar, Srinivasapuram and Shenbaganur. Several villages, including Pannaikadu, Thandikudi and Perumalmalai, also received rainfall.

In Shenbaganur, the lack of maintenance of a stormwater channel resulted in rainwater overflowing onto the road. The force of the water further damaged the road, leaving it riddled with potholes and making it difficult for motorists and pedestrians to pass through.

A similar incident had occurred last week, when rainwater overflowed from the same channel and damaged the road. The road has suffered further damage following Thursday's heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, water inflow to the Silver Cascade Falls has increased following the rain.
