Incessant rain and strong winds caused widespread damage across Palakkad and Malappuram districts on Thursday. Dozens of trees were uprooted at several places and several buildings were damaged.
A madrasa building at Munderi Chalikkal, near Nilambur, collapsed in heavy rain on Wednesday night. The tiled roof of Munawwirul Islam Secondary Madrasa came crashing in the rain. No casualty was reported.
About 100 students study at the madrasa. Officials said that, however, the madrasa had not reopened after the Id-ul-Azha holidays.
