Udhagamandalam (Tamil Nadu), Nov 27 (PTI) President Droupadi Murmu arrived in this hill town in The Nilgiris district on Tuesday, to attend various official engagements in the state as part of her four-day tour.
The President, who was slated to reach here by a helicopter upon her arrival at the airport in neighbouring Coimbatore, had to travel by road following inclement weather, police said.
