Manjolai Hills in Tirunelveli district witnessed very heavy rain for consecutive days, which led the KMTR administration to close access to both Manimuthar and Agasthiyar falls along with the Thalaiyanai region to protect the public from unpredictable water surges and slippery terrain. In addition to closing waterfall attractions, the district set up emergency response teams — including State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) — to assist with safety and evacuation if needed. Officials also warned locals to avoid riverbanks and unstable areas as catchment water continued to rise.
