Rain lashed various parts of Puducherry on Tuesday under the impact of a low-pressure area.
The incessant rain forced residents to stay indoors while vehicles users struggled to navigate through arterial roads. According to Indian Meteorological Department, the well-marked low pressure area lay centred in the Southeast Bay of Bengal about 240 km from Chennai.
The system is likely to move north-northwestwards during the next 12 hours and northwards thereafter along north Tamil Nadu and South Andhra Pradesh coast.
