A powerful dust storm struck Indore, causing extensive property damage and disrupting traffic across the city.
A severe dust storm swept through Indore early this morning, bringing strong winds and a thick cloud of sand and dust that reduced visibility to a few meters. The storm caused damage to roofs, windows and outdoor equipment, and several vehicles were overturned on busy roads.
Traffic authorities reported widespread congestion as drivers struggled to navigate the low‑visibility conditions. Emergency services were dispatched to several locations where property damage and injuries were reported.
Meteorological officials warned that the storm could last for several hours, urging residents to stay indoors and secure loose objects. The city’s transport department has advised commuters to avoid non‑essential travel until the dust settles.
Local authorities are coordinating clean‑up operations and will provide updates as the situation evolves.
