Dust storm wreaks havoc in UP and Rajasthan

Many were killed and injured when a high-speed, intense and gruesome dust storm on Wednesday night wreaked havoc in different parts of UP and Rajasthan. Around 70 people are reported to have died in this squall. Maximum destruction is being reported from the areas of UP where Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has sternly ordered that there should be no laxity in the relief work. The Meteorological Department has issued warnings for the possibility of more thunderstorm and strong winds in the coming days.

कई लोग मारे गए और घायल हो गए जब बुधवार रात को एक तेज़-गति, तीव्र व भीषण रेतीले तूफान ने उत्तर प्रदेश और राजस्थान के विभिन्न हिस्सों में तबाही मचा दी। इस आंधी-तूफान में करीबन 70 लोगों के मारे जाने की खबर है। विनाश की अधिकतम खबरें उत्तर प्रदेश के क्षेत्रों से आ रही हैं जहां मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ ने सख्ती से आदेश दिए हैं कि राहत कार्य में कोई ढील नहीं होनी चाहिए। मौसम विभाग ने आने वाले दिनों में और अधिक आंधी व तेज हवाओं की संभावना के लिए चेतावनियां जारी कर दी हैं।
