Coimbatore: As many as 12 thatched houses were damaged in rain at Chinnarpathi tribal settlement in Anamalai Tiger Reserve on Friday. No one was injured in the incident. Residents were shifted to a temple hall about a kilometre away from the settlement on Saturday morning.
As many as 40 families are residing in the settlement, said V S Paramasivam, district president of Tamil Nadu Tribal People Association. “Almost all of them stay in temporary sheds. As the shelters are in bad shape, when it began to rain last night, most of them spent the night in nearby caves. They returned in the morning to find the damaged shelters,” he said.
