Friday Evening Dust Storm 

On Friday evening, Delhi and surrounding areas in the National Capital Region (NCR) were hit by a massive dust storm and scattered rain. The sudden storm caught residents by surprise as gusty winds swept across the region with dust reducing visibility at many places.

At least two people were killed and 23 injured in storm-related incidents as strong winds uprooted trees and electricity poles, and led to portions of walls collapsing across Delhi. The Met Department reported wind speeds of 60 to 70 kmph in certain areas during the storm.

The IMD had earlier forecast a cloudy sky with the possibility of a dust storm and thunderstorm accompanied by gusty winds on Friday. The department had also issued an advisory urging people to stay indoors and not to leave for any unnecessary travel.
