The Morning Standard
|December 01, 2025
CYCLONE Ditwah, which weakened into a deep depression on Sunday night, resulted in at least four deaths in Tamil Nadu and the inundation of around 56,000 hectares of paddy fields in the delta districts even as it brought relatively less rainfall than expected.
Revenue Minister K K S S R Ramachandran, addressing reporters at the State Emergency Operations Centre in Chennai on Sunday, said that two persons died due to wall collapse in Thoothukudi and Thanjavur districts, while one died of electrocution in Mayiladuthurai, as per official records. In Villupuram, meanwhile, another farmer was killed late on Saturday when he came into contact with an electric wire that had snapped and fallen to the ground.
