Heavy rain continued to lash the Nilgiris for the sixth consecutive day, with around 750 mm recorded across the district since Monday.
The rain led to the district administration announcing that schools in Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Kundah, Gudalur, and Pandalur taluks will be closed.
The rain also led to a tree-fall in Udhagamandalam town along the Deer Park Road.
