RAJOURI MAY 27:-In an unexpected turn of weather this evening, a sudden windstorm swept through parts of City Sector Rajouri, causing partial damage to personal property and infrastructure. The storm, which lasted for a brief but intense period, resulted in the uprooting of several trees in various parts of the city, including areas near the Julla Bridge and the vicinity of District Police Lines (DPL) Rajouri.

Eyewitnesses reported that multiple personal vehicles parked along the roadside were partially damaged as large tree branches came crashing down. In addition to vehicular damage, strong gusts of wind also dislodged water tanks from the rooftops of several residential buildings in the affected sector. The tanks reportedly fell onto the streets and adjacent properties, adding to the extent of the damage.

In a related incident, the roof of Government High School Ujhan in Darhal was also partially blown off due to the high-speed winds. Steel sheets from the roof were reportedly dislodged and scattered across the school premises, raising safety concerns. Fortunately, no staff or students were present at the time, and no injuries were reported.

Local authorities have confirmed that despite the property damage, no loss of life or serious injuries has occurred. Teams have been deployed to assess the situation, remove fallen trees, and clear debris from affected areas to restore normalcy.

Residents are advised to remain cautious and secure any loose objects, as unpredictable weather patterns continue to pose risks across the region. Further updates will follow as assessments continue.
