An unusual gloom descended over the district of Thoothukudi on the day of Christmas as people were unable to spend money and celebrate in a looming crisis following the unprecedented rains that lashed the districts of Thoothukudi and Tirunelveli.
The residents of Thoothukudi district celebrate Christmas without any differences. With nearly half of the population being Christians, they irrespective of their religion involve themselves in the celebrations.
Jeyakumar, a resident of Thoothukudi, said that though people organised routine masses and prayers at night and on the day of Christmas, they lacked the usual enthusiasm and joy.
