A severe rainstorm hit Rasipuram and its surrounding areas on Sunday evening, May 24, 2026, causing significant waterlogging on the Government Hospital campus. The heavy rain, which began around 6:30 p.m. and lasted for over an hour, led to flooding in several areas within the hospital premises. As a result, hospital authorities were forced to take immediate action to ensure the safety of patients and attendants. The rainwater entered the women's ward, prompting the hospital staff to shift patients from the inpatient and maternity wards to alternative rooms as a precautionary measure.
