People in several rural parts of Thoothukudi district are still struggling, but officials or relief teams are yet to visit them.
Damage to highways, important connecting bridges, water channels, over bridges, arterial roads, among others, have completely cut off many of the places, hindering relief measures and rescue assistance.
The over bridge at Tamirabharani river at Eral was damaged last week as it was unable to resist the strong currents of the flood.
