Villupuram district in northern Tamil Nadu remained in the grip of unprecedented floods following extremely heavy rains on Monday, almost blocking access to villages and residential colonies as bridges and roads were submerged and standing crops inundated.

In Tiruvannamalai, tragedy unfolded when five bodies were recovered from a house that was crushed by stones that rolled down from the hilltop following a mudslide during rains on the night of December 1.
