Rain triggered by Cyclone Ditwah lashes TN coastal, Cauvery delta districts

Chennai, Nov 29: Rain triggered by Cyclone Ditwah, which entered the open sea inching towards Tamil Nadu coast, lashed the coastal areas and the Cauvery delta districts on Saturday.

A tourist van got stranded in an area marooned near a canal in Ramanthapuram district.

The occupants, however, had a providential escape as they managed to step out through the rear door. The district administration has warned people not to venture out unnecessarily due to the adverse weather conditions of strong gales and heavy downpour.
