Persistent heavy rains in The Nilgiris district have triggered seven new landslips and uprooted 15 trees in a 24-hour period, disrupting normal life and road connectivity. Two men and a woman sustained injuries in rain-related incidents, and three huts were partially damaged. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway service between Coonoor and Mettupalayam has been halted due to landslides. Schools in several taluks were declared a holiday on Monday, October 26, 2026, as a precautionary measure.
