Following a warning from the Meteorological Department about heavy rainfall across several districts of Tamil Nadu, widespread downpours lashed Vellore district on Sunday night.

The news agency ANI reported that Vellore's Latteri and its surrounding areas experienced heavy rainfall. Subsequently, Pallathur Lake near Latteri reached its full capacity and began to overflow.

Looking ahead, more rainfall is expected over the next few days, and thus, the villagers have urged authorities to take immediate action by inspecting and clearing the blockages in the Kanaaru stream to prevent further flooding in residential areas.

According to a report by the news agency IANS, the withdrawal of monsoon winds from West Bengal began on Sunday, with the sky clearing up and no forecast of heavy rain anywhere in the state.

Furthermore, according to the Meteorological (MeT) Office, the monsoon may leave Bengal entirely by October 18. A senior official of the Regional Meteorological Centre in Kolkata's Alipore on Sunday said the weather will change in the next few days, making a swift transition from monsoon to early arrival of winter.

Earlier in October, heavy rainfall triggered massive landslides in North Bengal, killing around 40 people.
