Thoothukudi district was one of the many coastal districts in Tamilnadu
that bore the brunt of devastating Tsunami on 26th December 2004. You
could still visit some of the sites, which were thoroughly engulfed by
the giant walls of Tsunami waves. However sustained relief works and
sheer strength of the inhabitants here have seen the life back on
tracks.
