Early on 26 October 2026 a private omni bus with 46 passengers ran into the back of a lorry at Valasupatti near Manapparai. The bus cleaner died and more than 40 passengers were hurt, and local people broke windows to pull them out; we cover it in a case study.
On 9 August 2025 a minibus went out of control in Tiruchi, killing three people and injuring ten. Buses at speed are a repeat risk on the city roads and the highways that meet here.
The district disaster plan lists flood and cyclone damage in 1998, 1999 and 2005, and says the Cauvery and Coleroon spill over large areas in the north-east monsoon. It rates about 373 sq km as very high flood risk and about 975 sq km as high risk.
