Jan 13, 2016- At least 45 whales have died in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu after more than 100 of the animals were stranded on the shore at Tuticorin.
The whales were spotted along a stretch of beach on Monday evening.
Locals together with teachers and students of a local college tried to float the whales back out to sea, but they kept returning to the shore.
The last time such an incident occurred in Tuticorin, was in 1973 when 147 whales died.
"At least 45 whales are dead and about 36 others which were rescued and pushed back into the sea are still in the vicinity of the shore,'' Dr Patterson Edward, director of the Tuticorin-based Sugandhi Devadasan Marine Research Institute, told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.
