Wed Nov 27 18:09:32 UTC 2024: ## Heavy Rains Lash Tamil Nadu as Cyclone Fengal Approaches
**Chennai, India** – Tamil Nadu is bracing for the impact of Cyclone Fengal, with heavy rainfall lashing several districts over the past few days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast continued heavy rainfall, particularly along coastal areas, with the strongest impact expected on Thursday.
As a precautionary measure, schools in Puducherry and Karaikal have been declared closed for Thursday. The Chief Minister of Puducherry has convened a high-level meeting with officials to assess the situation and has ordered a “war footing” response to the impending cyclone.
Meanwhile, in unrelated news, former IPL chairman Lalit Modi has accused former BCCI secretary N. Srinivasan of fixing Chennai Super Kings matches by appointing Chennai-based umpires and manipulating the IPL auction for Andrew Flintoff. The accusations are separate from the ongoing cyclone situation.
