TIRUNELVELI: With heavy summer showers triggered by the low pressure near Sri Lanka lashing
Tirunelveli and
Tuticorin districts on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the respective district collectors declared closure of schools on Wednesday. However, they said that plus one board exams would be held as usual.
Manonmaniam Sundaranar University also declared a one-day closure of its colleges in Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Kanyakumari districts.
However the internal and semester practical exams for undergraduate and postgraduate students would be held as usual.

Courtallam flowed copiously, bathing was banned at Courtallam old falls, main falls and five falls from 3 am.
