Friday night storm kills 17 in western UP | The Times of India Trees, Electric Poles Uprooted Across Districts
At least 17 people were killed and another nine were injured across Moradabad, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Amroha, Bareilly, Badaun and Sambhal districts after another thunderstorm hit the region late on Friday. Several cities were plunged into darkness for hours as hundreds of tree and electricity poles were uprooted because of high-speed winds.
A UP government spokesperson said on Saturday that most of the deaths were caused due to falling of trees and house collapse.
Moradabad bore the maximum brunt of the storm, with as many as seven deaths reported from the district, followed by three deaths from Sambhal, the state government spokesperson said.
In Moradabad, a major tragedy was averted at an exhibition ground here after the local administration swung into action to rescue hundreds of women and children who had come to visit an ongoing exhibition.
In neighbouring Sambhal, a tin sheet flying in the strong winds slit a man’s throat. In another incident, a wall collapsed on a woman when she was shifting her cattle to a safer location. Another man died in maize field when a tree fell up on him.
In Meerut, two people, including a minor girl, were killed in the storm. A 12-year old girl died after a tin shade landed on the mother-daughter duo coming out of a temple. The girl died on the spot while her mother was rushed to a local hospital where she is stable. Over half a dozen locals, injured in varying degrees, were admitted to nearby hospitals.
Two deaths were reported each from Badaun and Muzaffarnagar, while one death was reported from Amroha.
Five persons were injured in Amroha, three in Moradabad, two in Muzaffarnagar and one in Badaun.
With fresh deaths still being reported on Saturday, the toll may further go up.
Meanwhile, UP’s Shahjahanpur district was left in complete darkness after the thunderstorm lashed the region and uprooted more than 150 electricity poles. Considering the extent of the damage caused, the restoration work may take over 10 days, officials said.
