A bus parked on an empty road with its scorched insides. Slippers lying near a rubble that's still smoking. Streets full of shops that have not opened for business on a Monday. This is Paramakudi today, a small town and a 7-hour drive from Chennai in Tamil Nadu. Six people have died since last morning.
